LEE R. BOMGAARS
**Genre:** MEMOIR
Lee Bomgaars grew up in small-town rural America and earned his high school diploma in 1957. Although Lee never lived on a farm his life was influenced by the agricultural community which surrounded him. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in June of 1963 from Iowa University. Practiced his profession with the U.S. Naval Dental Corp until August 1965. Completed a pediatric dental residency in July 1967. He retired from practice of Children’s Dentistry in 2007. Now living in Florida.
A brief compilation of thanks for all the Blessings Lee has enjoyed from eighty plus years of life. Beginning with a simple but loving environment in small town rural Iowa. Educated with simplicity, however, with valuable perception for instinctive choice decisions. We are free to choose, but we are not free from the consequences of our choices. Value appraisal is completely individual and ideology rests within the soul. Life and Living are a constant balancing between mystery and realism. The “soul choices” one makes will ultimately be evaluated either as blessings or curses. Let the search continue!
