I had a cousin, Leonard Laufe. He was older than me, almost old enough to be my dad. I looked up to him, he was a doctor, an obstetrician. He was smart and funny and didn’t treat me like a kid.
Leonard did a lot of good in the world, he invented obstetrical instruments, wrote text books that are still in print today. He traveled on the Hope ship to give medical aid to victims of disasters all over the world. He was worth three of me.
In 1998, he died from complications of MS. He died too soon. Leonard is the reason that I am asking you to donate to the MS Society.
