Evelyn McNeill, retired professor of neuroanatomy at East Carolina UniversityÕs Brody School of Medicine, traces her life story in "Zero to Eighty." She uses a unique method for expressing her thoughts, placing Òletters to DadÓ throughout the book to express many of her thoughts directly to her long-deceased father, allowing sometimes difficult subject matter to more easily flow into written words. She includes numerous photographs that illustrate her times and those of her parents: early 20th century rural life in North Carolina; the joys and hard work of a Depression-era family farm; education at Elon College, the University of North Carolina, and Duke University; military service in the U.S. Army as a physical therapist; doctoral studies at the Medical College of Virginia; service as a pioneering first female faculty member of the East Carolina University School of Medicine; active retirement as a devoted daughter and sister and loyal friend.
