Q. If Frank E. Kowinski, Jr. could have any job, what do you think he/she could have done?
A. I think Pappap would have made the most wonderful doctor. I know he, Grandma, Mom, and I believed that he should have been a doctor for sure. He loved to read all the time and was always so curious to learn of new medical news. Whenever he had a procedure done at a doctor's office or in the hospital, he wanted to watch if at all possible. He once told me that he would have stayed awake to watch his open heart surgery if he could have and I absolutely believe him. If he would have been a doctor that would have been wonderful because then I might have been able to work for him and be his nurse.
