Todd Fineberg showed me a picture of the two of you in the 1961 yearbook doing a physics experiment.You are concentrating, absorbed in trying to get it right.That’s what I remember—you worked hard, had good ideas, were easy going, enjoyable to be with.Our parents were friends; I always thought my mother looked like your mother.Now that my daughter is in medical school, I understand better what it took for you to become a doctor.There is too much to know, the hours are too long, the patients are often too sick to be helped or it’s too late, there are too few doctors in the hospitals, there are too many emergencies.It is the profession that takes the most training and is the most demanding.I’m sure you did it well.You were always a welcome presence when I knew you; now it’s sad to find you absent.
Jimmie Shapero was a good friend and a very fine person. He was one of my closest friends at Shaker High School, and I remained in touch with him during the early years of his medical career in Cleveland. We were lab partners in the P.S.S.C. Physics course at Shaker, and his interest in science must have become a component of his medical career choice. I wish he could be with us forever and am very sad that he is gone. We will always remember him.
