Stories from My Youth (ePub)

F. A. Pflughoeft (Fritz) was born on August 15, 1922 to Werner and Aurelia (Seehafer) Pflughoeft in Medford, Wisconsin. He had an adventurous childhood and high school career in Medford (as evidenced by his stories). In fall 1940, he attended Marquette University and completed his degree in dentistry in 1945 (a special wartime dental course compressed, i.e., no vacations except one day for Christmas, to provide dentists for the military). He served his country as a lieutenant in the US Navy from graduation to 1947, spending most of that time in the Philippines.

Fritz married Roylee Ross on May 22, 1948, in Virginia, Illinois. After a couple years in private practice, Fritz joined the Veterans Administration Hospital system. This meant living in South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Connecticut before returning to Wood VA Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1959. He continued his studies to become a board-certified prosthodontist and taught at Marquette Dental School part-time. He retired from the VA in 1977 and continued at Marquette for quite a few more years.

Fritz and Roylee have three children, Jane, Martha, and John; four grandchildren, Rachel (Mildbrand) Klinner, Peter Klinner, Lauren and Dana Pflughoeft. At present they have one great-granddaughter, Carly Ross Mildbrand. Fritz loved history and enjoyed taking pictures during his numerous travels to almost every part of the globe. At the time of publication, Fritz and Roylee are ninety-three and ninety-two years young and reside in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
