I worked for Dr Fulenwider in his office on Oakland Park Blvd in 1972. He had a unique sense of humor and was a very kind man. I often think of him. He was an unforgettable character! He kept me entertained and valued my work as his office nurse. I will never forget his comittment to serving others and wanting little for himself.
