I knew Lenny way back when, while we both worked at Wm Douglas McAdams. I remember Lenny reporting to me 2 thrills he had: 1 was the first case of Gaucher's disease he'd ever seen; the other was his meeting with Rita; he said, in thrall, "I've met the woman I want to marry!" Lenny had once wanted to be a professional tennis player, but he had coronary artery disease (which didn't prevent him from living to age 90). Donald Effler, MD, a pioneer in the treatment of coronary insufficiency by replacement of the occluded artery with a patent mamary artery, treated Lenny (one of Effler's first patients). Thereafter Lenny had to take cholestyramine every day, which he found abhorrent, but necessary. Requiscat in pacem!
