We got my Dad involved, and bing, bang, boom…Poppa Brooks comes to town. It was so cool to not only just see him but to also work with him. Ya’ll should have seen him. Patients gathered early and they stayed late. He was like robot-seeing patients from sun-up to sundown. It was a task just to get him to take a lunch break. I was so proud.
