Rotary Profile: Dr. Mike Carey
Our program last week was provided by our own Dr. Mike Carey. Mike is the program chairman for January and his scheduled speaker backed out on short notice, so being the resourceful Rotarian that he is, he put together his profile to present to the club.
Mike was born in Norfolk, NE, and then spent his younger years in Cheyenne. His family moved to Denver when he was in the seventh grade. He attended St Francis de Sales Parochial School until the closed it (no reflection on Mike), and then he graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School where he played sports and acted in school productions.
After High school, he went to CSU where he started as a history major and then transferred to business. While at CSU, he spent four years in ROTC, and upon graduation entered the Air Force as a Second Lieutenant. He spent three years in Holland and was then assigned to Minot, ND where he spent an additional two years. While there he met his wife, a Canadian from Saskatchewan. After leaving the Air Force, they moved to Saskatoon where Mike entered the Pre-med program. Five years later, he had his MD, and then worked in the Residency Program in Regina for two years.
He had a hankering to get back to Colorado and away from Canada’s medical program, so he came straight to Windsor where he went to work with an older doctor who was looking for someone to help with the practice. After the older Doctor retired, Mike continued on and then NCMC decided to build a facility in Windsor to compete with Poudre Valley Hospital. The current Windsor Family Physicians is the result of that move.
Mike has spent 25 years in Windsor, and has been married for 33. He has two sons and two daughters. His interests are International Service, and he likes charity work. He is a life-long philatelist. He plays tennis, hikes, skis, and rides a mean motorcycle.
QUIZ
The two other states in addition to Texas and California that were independent republics before they became states are Hawaii and Vermont,
Next Question: Who was the 118th person to fly over the Atlantic Ocean?
