Re: [samuraihistory] Two ideas...Bushi--Jack Murphy-for Tom Helm, et al

If people do not wish to learn, Tom, and acquire new knowledge, free
inquiry dies. With that, so does scholarship. My revered grandpop, Joe Nolan,
had retired as Medical Editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer. He counted the Mayo
Brothers, and Jonas Salk, among his close friends. When Michael de Bakey
performed his first open heart surgery, "Byline Joe" got the first telephone
interview. At an age when most were collecting pensions, my "Grandpa" resumed
Physical Therapy. His license was Number 2 given in the state. At 78, he
finally took on a younger partner! The year he died in 1979-----before he got
sick----he planned to attend a convention "so I can learn more in my field."
If I can contribute half to my field what that Grand Old Man did in his, I
shall feel a success. I only wish he could have lived to see how blessed I am
with my Significant Other, Dolly, who appreciates my poor efforts, as did he.
Once again, kudos to Tom. Jack Murphy
