June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast, Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire. Follow along every Milliron Monday to revisit Dr. Smith's biography.
Writing Pete's biography was a fun process. In many instances, Jody, Pete's widow, and I leafed through old photos, high school yearbooks, letters, and poems. There were many stories from Pete's high school days - many he shared with his clients. Some stories gaining momentum and grandeur with time. Through the internet, I was able to connect with a few of Pete's high school friends, including his prom date, Glenda, who resides in Hawaii! Glenda was kind to share a photo of her and Pete at their high school prom (right)...
Pete's yearbook is full of well-wishes from fellow students and teachers. A few having a profound impact on his life, encouraging him to persevere and follow his dream of becoming a veterinarian. Next week, I'll share some of the sentiments from Pete's yearbooks - The Johnny Reb.
Visit Milliron Monday to read past posts about Dr. Smith. Read more about Pete in his biography. I enjoy reading your great reviews!
