I had no idea if he was live or dead and came across is obituary, and many times in my life I think about him and how i would love to contact him. but not know where he was; till today. I was saddened to learn that he passed away in 1993, when previous searches only yielded me his "Time" cover in 1957. This man saved my life. I was born and left for dead, but this man saved me. It has been a hard life, but a good one. and I had always hoped I could thank him. It wasn't until I became pregnant with my first son and developed a murmur, that I learned he had even named the procedure after me. God bless him.
