Local doctor writes book that explores learning from mistakes

LOCAL AUTHOR

Imagine living your life in reverse, having all of the knowledge you do at the end of your life from the beginning? Would that change how you lived? “Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart” is a book written by local ophthalmologist Rex Cole, MD, that explores that very topic.

Cole has lived here since 1971, when he came here after his residency in Dallas. He got the idea to write a book from a sermon given by his pastor at St Mark’s Episcopal Church. He started writing it before he retired but got serious about finishing it in 2020 when he was no longer practicing ophthalmology.
