In 1973 we bought our young son a Saint Bernard pup. The dog was hit by a vehicle and we took it to Dr. Schmidtke for treatment. Dr. Mckitterick had recently exited Mexico and Dr. Schmidtke had come to take up the practice. Injuries were quickly determined to be extensive but Dr. Schmidtke seemed to discern our sadness and agreed to try to save the dog. Over the following days he performed several surgeries. He gave it his best shot but, in the end, we decided the best thing for the pup was to put it down. We were only a few years into our marriage at the time and money was tight. He would have discerned that as well and we know he gave us every break he could. There's no way we could have funded such an effort at its rightful prices. We've reflected on the whole episode many times over the years and want to reiterate our appreciation for all the services he rendered, certainly not to the exclusion of his very reasonable fees. It's possible after 50 years Dr. Schmidtke has drifted into retirement but we'd be pleased if this message could make its way to him. Thanks so much for the kindnesses you extended to us all those years ago.
