book- Nicholson

Place on page 109, after ppara. 6)

It was later in life when I fully appreciated Dr. Nicholson's greatness. CHOP named a special research and teaching activity after him. The Nicholson Visiting Professors would bring in doctors from all over the United States to work and learn at Children's Hospital. He graduated from then Harvard College in 1925. He became orthpaedic division chief in the mid-thirties. For the next three decades. he continued to grow and develop the hospital's pediatric orthopaedic program. He was a real medical pioneer in the Philadelphia region, as well as an important physican in the United States as well as around the world.

Dr. Nicholson died in 1987. But his legacy would live on. Memories of my early childhood, and everything we experienced together, would last a lifetime .I was his "Jeffrey." I would remember him, not as a source of pain and suffering, but as a healer, someone who ultimately saved my life.
