Stirred up like a good roux, stories by Dr. Walter H. Daniels combine childhood, manhood and physician experiences. As a young boy, Walter operated on his pet skunk. Growing up in Cajun south Louisiana, he learned of hard work from his stern father and French dialect from his grandmother. In medical school he earned money fishing cadavers. During his many years as a family physician, Dr. Daniels experienced endearing patient relationships but also peculiar office visitors with odd requests. He married the love of his life, Pam, under the giant oak on the lawn of their home, Idlewild. Their thirty years of travel adventures include a trip on the Concorde, a flat in Paris and meeting a world leader. Other tales tell of strange visitors, historical findings and ghost happenings in the couple's 160-year-old home on the bayou. An entertaining book of joyful recollections and reflections on life well-lived.
