Who we are

Syracuse, and holds a BA in chemistry from Syracuse University.

    During 1957 to 1962, we re-opened the American Baptist hospital at Kengtung, Burma, which had closed during World War II. and from 1963 to 1967, we established a new hospital at Mae Sariang, Thailand, and worked there again from 1977 to 1981,
  
    We were among the first responders in the Cambodian refugee crisis in 1979
, at Sa Kaew camp.

   
Keith has worked as a family physician in Kellogg, Idaho, USA from 1967
until 1993. Since then he has done volunteer work at Ukarumpa, Papua
New Guinea, at Kwai River Christian Hospital, Sangklaburi, Thailand, and in Burma's Kachin State helping train village health workers. 

    He has also been a "Rent-a-Doc" (locum tenens) in nine states in USA in the period from 1994 to 2004.    He has served twelve years on the American Baptist Churches/USA General Board and is now retired in Kellogg, Idaho, where he spends his time writing. 

   
Lois has accompanied him and worked on many of these projects, as a
nurse and as a community volunteer. She has spent many years serving in
American Baptist Women, and as a school nurse in North Idaho.

     We are proud of our four adult children and nine grandchildren.
