Autorenporträt

Vick was raised in Baltimore, Maryland by parents with an intense emotional investment in sports of all kinds, especially golf. He attended Williams College, graduating (1966) with honors in chemistry and completed his formal schooling at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (1970.) He was drawn back to the Berkshires, living near Stockbridge, Massachusetts for an internship with special emphasis in psychiatry at the Berkshire Medical Center, where in 1971 he won the award for Excellence in Performance of Duties as an Intern.
