Re: story #7: I’m extremely proud of my late brother’s legacy which is the work being done by MIT Dr. Hugh Herr and his co-author Dr. Carty at Brigham and Women in Boston. You see, in January of 1982, Hugh was just 17 and caught in a near deadly snow storm on Mt Washington with a climbing partner. My brother and some 20+ volunteers set out in search of the boys. My brother Albert Dow and his search partner were avalanched under the Lion’s Head. Albert was the first and to date only volunteer with the mountain rescue service to be killed on a mission. Hugh and Jeffrey were found the next days nearly frozen, they both suffered amputations, Hugh loosing both legs below his knees. We consider Hugh and Jeffrey who both do amazing work to be his legacy. I have the pleasure of knowing Hugh these days and watching his work unfold. Quite surprised to see this story appear in TFP, but the honor of seeing my brother’s unselfish dedication to mankind is still relevant 42 1/2 years later is truly amazing. Thank you.
