My father, George W. O’Sullivan, was a DO (PCO 1933) who came to Deming, NM in 1935 along with his young bride – Ruth M. O’Sullivan RN. Other than WWII he lived here in Deming for the rest of his life. I think he would have been so proud of the BCOM here in NM and the increase in osteopathic physicians.
