RAILEY, M.D., MILTON JAMES - Austin, TX - Dr. Milton James "Jim" Railey, of Austin passed away surrounded by friends and family on Monday, December 8, 2003. Jim was born on January 27, 1923. He was delivered by his dad, a physician, in his medical office on the third floor of a Lexington Avenue brownstone on Manhattan Island in New York City. Typical of his sense of playfulness when asked about the circumstances of where he was born, Jim would only say that he was born "close to his mother". He grew up in the Belle Harbor area of Rockaway Beach on the Atlantic side of Long Island, "where there was water all around and plenty of places to drop a fishing line." Jim attended NYU and majored in pre-Med until he was inducted into the Army Air Corps at the outbreak of WWII. He was assigned to the Army Specialist Training Program (ASTP) at Ball State Teachers College in Muncie, Indiana, and later transferred to radio school in Madison, Wisconsin, for the Army Air Corps where he stayed to teach, and was honorably discharged in March, 1946. He left New York for Texas to enroll in TCU, where he earned a masters degree in psychology in 1949. He pursued a Ph.D in clinical psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, and subsequently completed his M.D. degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1960. In 1961, he opened his own general practice in Austin. Jim's work was important to him, but his interests outside his practice were important pursuits as well.
