From Short Pants To Scrub Suits

Floyd Alan Fried grew up an only child in a Jewish family of modest means. His youthful experiences in a struggling family produce business convinced him that he needed to obtain further education to pursue alternate career opportunities.

Contemporary views reinforced his high esteem for physicians, thus he developed a strong attraction for the biological sciences. As he continues through college and medical school, he further found that the role in medicine that he most enjoyed was the opportunity to educate others.
By design, he trained in urology at The University of Chicago, an institution that nurtured the teaching and research role for their graduates.

As a small boy, he eagerly listened to the stories of his grandfather. During which time he learned about another time, and the different world of Hungary. His stories about immigrating to the U.S. at the age of 13, with a younger brother, and a few dollars in his pocket. These stories forged a bond between them.

He now desires to create a similar framework for his grandchildren and others to help them learn about his generation. To also provide them with some insights to the values that influenced him, and to see how some are influenced by current events, while others remain constant from one generation to another.
