Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Charlie Williams, the author of Simpler Times, needs no introduction to the readers of Cap Scan. You could tell the following was written by him even (almost) if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read it. Talk about a style! No wonder he is in demand nationwide to lecture and comment about everything from life in a cottonpatch to Life. But never has he disclosed the secrets of why he chose Radiology as a specialty. It is, after all, such a long leap from Pedro chopping cotton to Roentgenology. Cap Scan is honored that we should be the first media outlet to which Charlie has revealed the intimate truth of why he is the Radiologist that he is. We thank him for sharing.Â
