While medicine has been his vocation, Dr. Thompson enjoys athletics, outdoor activities and work with conservation programs. Watching a fine gun dog in the field, deer easing down a trail, a strutting gobbler in a woods opening, or a nice bluegill on an ultra light are some of the things that will bring a sparkle to his eye.

…….. And yes anything about Indiana Hoosiers basketball.
