tours of the world, which he began after he retired at the age of 70.
He spent 26 years as a doctor for the United Fruit Company in Central America. There he combated tropical diseases and patched up natives wounded in knife fights. In one case he treated the victim of a shotgun wedding.
He became a Navy commander during World War II and later was a project physician during the construction of the DEW line in Alaska. He recalls writing his "life history" to acquire a security clearance for the DEW line job.
"Keep a gun on your hip at all times," his papers say he was told, "to keep the respect for you."
Fletcher wrote that he had a "passion for the acquisition of knowledge about new things" and "the desire to find medicine or in other fields." He freestyle traveled by bus just to see the countryside.
