Time Flies


I share the same thoughts as all the other bloggers here. 20 years sure does go by fast. After high school, I went to the U of I with Jeff, Joan, Kevin, Greg and Nicole. I picked pre-med because I had to put something on the form. During my sophmore year I lived in a dorm for handicapped students which got me interested in spinal cord injuries and eventually neurosurgery. I hung around U of I until 2000 getting over-educated, but there is no better place to hang out for 12 years than in college. I met Karen my senior year and we were married in 1995. We moved to Phoenix in 2000 for my neurosurgery residency and just moved to Indianapolis last July where after 19 years of college, med school, grad school and residency, I finally got a real job. I joined the neurosurgery department at Indiana University and love it so far. Karen and I finally got around to having kids toward the end of our time in Phoenix and we now have 2 boys (Nick-20 months and Sam-5 months). They are a handful, but we love it. They have their own blogs if you want to check them out (http://www.nickhorn.blogspot.com/; http://www.samhorn.blogspot.com/). It is pretty amazing what has happened over the past 20 years, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am sad that I can't make it for the reunion, but I wish everyone the best and look forward to seeing everyone at the next one..........

Thank you so much for posting Eric! My husband grew up in Carmel, IN and we've made many trips to Indy. I actually love to go, because I love the shopping and the Colts! I'm sorry you won't be at the reunion, but I appreciate you sharing your life with us! Take Care!

Hey Eric,

I still remember that canoe trip we took after high school and that underage drunken debotchery we had at U of I prior to me leaving for the Air Force.. What great memories. I hope you gave up the Camels.... HAHA

Congrats on your life achievements!

Hey Eric-wow I am really impressed with your accomplishments. Your family is adorable. I have great respect for your profession-In 2002 I was in need of a neurosurgeon-was in a minor boating/tubing accident and shattered my disc C4-5 but with the help of my neuro,a cadaver bone,some plates and some screws-my neck is stronger than ever! Take care and continued success!
