From - 32ndstationhospital Website:
Captain Shindell joined the 32nd Station Hospital on November 26, 1942 at Fort Benning, Georgia from the Medical Department, 4th Service Command. On December 5, 1942, he was appointed chief of dental service. He accompanied the unit overseas to Algeria.
In his journal, Dr. Lowell E. Vinsant reported that “Shindell bucked the C.O. and was transferred.” Captain Shindell was transferred to the 7th Station Hospital on September 7, 1943, exchanging places with Captain Howard A. Laile, who joined the unit the following day. Alice Griffin’s September 25, 1943 letter to her family reported:
Our mess officer & supply officer & chief dentist have gone & they say there are two more doctors going. They say this last group were shang-haied out.
Details of Dr. Shindell’s subsequent military career are unknown.
Dr. Shindell married Lee Bialik (died 2019; according to Dr. Shindell’s great-nephew, she was related to famous Jewish poet Hayim Nahman Bialik) in New York in 1952. The couple did not have children. The Shindells later moved to Brookline, Massachusetts. A newspaper ad listed him as a retired Associate Clincial Professor at the Tufts University School of Dentistry. Dr. Shindell’s great-nephew recalled that Dr. Shindell and his wife moved to Israel after his retirement, where he died, aged 88.
