Dr. Rollstin enjoyed working crossword puzzles with his wife every morning. He was an avid reader of every kind of fictional genre and daily news sources. He maintained his medical license after his retirement and regularly attended professional meetings and seminars. Throughout his lifetime, he never lost his desire to learn.
