• • • . ’
(Cont. from Page I)
Spanish expeditions in the late
1760’s spoke of camping at Cuero
t'reek and Cuero as a regular
ftop along Camino Real.
t How is this important to
})eWitt County? “It’s important
ong term because they will do a
itudy on Camino Real which will
nclude DeWitt County and the
lighway department will put up
ligns along the route,” said
|,oster. “Hopefully, there will be
jome tourism.”
; U.S. Senator Kay Bailey
Hutchison of Texas sponsored
|he bill which was approved by
Congress.
! She stated, “El Camino Real
$e los Tejas is more than a road,
h's a 2,600 mile path embedded
kith footprints and tracks that
narrate long-standing tales
about Texas and all who settled
here or simply passed through.
“As visitors travel down this
winding route, they'll follow in
the footsteps of Spanish mission-
aries of 1691, Mexican and
Texan armies of 1836, Anglo-
American settlers and person-
ages such as Jim Bowie and Sam
Houston, all while observing
Spanish missions in San
Antonio, Caddo Indian mounds
in Alto and a dozen historical
small towns that help make
Texas unique.”
DeWitt County
Commissioners Court passed a
resolution in support of the
National Historic Trail designa-
tion earlier this year.

What’s up Doc?
a series of interviews with our CCH medical staff
by Alicia Hannan, CCH Marketing Coordinator
"My lite is like a tree/' Dr.
Gerald Brenton of Cuero
(trthopedic Clinic begins as we
start our interview "Medicine is
the heart and soul or i' you will,
trunk, ol inv being, yet, I have
many other facets ol my lite that
split oil and parallel one another ”
Indeed he has! One branch
grows toward aviation. Dr
Brenton is a licensed pilot and
owns a Commander 114 - a single
engine high performance tour
sealer white and red aircraft
Another branch turns toward box-
ing Every year Dr. Brenton is the
ringside physician for the national
Gohlen Gloves Boxing, Match,
which will be held in Nashville
this copung year (2005) Still
another branch reaches out touch
mg deep in the heart of Texas
ranching
Dr Brenton is a rancher from
way back. In tact, he was born
right smack dab in the middle of
the rich ranch kind of Meeker,
Colorado. His family along with 4
other principle family members
worked 30,(XX) acres and divided
up the work between themselves
some in charge ot the cattle, some
the hay, some the horses, some the
pigs and soon Ihey raised quarter
horses and had 7(Xt-CHX) head ot
mixed breed cattle, mostly Black
Angus, Charlevoix and Hereford
mixes
"Back then was an era that can
never be reproduc'd," Dr. Brenton
tells me with a distant look in his
eyes "Things were a lot different
then We had to trail the cattle
through towns, a flagman in the
front, one in the back and the
chuck wagon following behind"
Mv mind wanders to the west-
ern movies I watched as a child
and I can |ust imagine Dr. Brenton
on a horse moving cattle across the
terrain as the sun sets brilliantly
across the horizon I am drawn
back to reality bv Dr. Brenton's
next words.
"It was early on maybe age nine
or ten when I realized that 1 was
not doing this all of my life," Dr.
Brenton confides. "I knew I was
going to do something much easi-
er1’’
After High School Dr. Brenton
enlisted in the Navy and spent
tour years attached to the Marine
Core. From there he attended the
University of Western Colorado
where he received an Associates
Degree in Media^Wfmology
(another branch in his proverbial
free). Dr. Brenton went on to obtain
a degree as a Physician Assistant
from the Unix ersitv ot Nebraska
before he made the move to Fort I
Worth to begin Medical School at
the Texas College ot Osteopathu
Medicine.
"Fort Worth is wtxuc k met my
wife, Flo We lord iMRWfdoor to
each other - I guess vxui i ould sav |
1 married the girl next door, " says ’
Dr Brenton'with a sweet smile
”We use to train our dogs together
and after a while became really
good friends We started dating
and one thing led to another It is i
really great to be married to your
best friend."
I>r Brenton went an to special-
ize in Orthopedics which is the
branch of medicine that deals with
bone fractures, arthritis treatment,
arthroscopy joint treatments, spine
surgery, joint replacement and cer
tain nerve disorders such as carpal
tunnel, cubital tunnel,
ruptured/slipped disc, and spinal
diseases He o|>enrrf|>« private
practice in MichigairtbBlpraetii ed
there for 16 'vears until moving to •
Cuero.
"You were a successful, welt
established Orthopedic Surgeon
and President ot the Michigan
Osteopathic Association Why
move to C uero?" 1 ask rather blunt
Iv
"It is really prettv simple" Dr
Brenton begins C captan. "Flo and
I were not tolerating the winters '
very well In Michigan it is winter
and I mean bitterly cold winter
from rnid-Septeinber until mid j
May. The sun shines about 2 days
out of the month with the rest of’
the da vs being overcast. Flo's Mom
and Dad live down here so we
knew we wanted to be Ni this part
ot the country. We sWICd coming
down and looking Nt^mall towns
every chance we could On one
trip we came through Cuero After
that, every other place we went we
compared it to Cuero Once wv
realized what we were doing, I got
on the phone to the hospital
administrator to see what 1 could
work out
"You see" he conUgues, "It was
never so muc h about my prac tice
as much as it was about the com'
munifv Vfv it'll in love with this
place."
Where quality healthcare and
personal service come together.
"Coming to
•Cuero was
never so much
about my
practice as
much as it was
about the
community. We
fell in love with
this place."
