Andres made it tough for anyone to ever give a classification talk again. John’s ancestors came over from Ireland in the mid 1800’s. His Grandfather was born in PA., became a MD in 1890 and moved to Berthoud, CO in 1892. He followed a school chum there who was opening a pharmacy. His Dad was born in 1910, graduated from CU and the CU Medical School and became a doctor in Longmont. John graduated from CU with a degree in civil engineering and something else. He and his wife moved to Yucaipa, CA for 8 years after running his own firm here in CO. They moved back to CO after their children both graduated from CU. He initially worked in El Paso county and moved to Denver last August. Their daughter is a physician in St. Louis and her husband is finishing his residency.
