Just found my Dads scrap book and had to share...

I had heard he had something to do with
endoscopes, but I didn't realise that he
was this involved! So much I didn't know,
and now he's gone.

how long ago was that?

About 1963

But that was just the release date of the information.

Key hole surgery - the whole lot - all came from this first step. I am in awe.

are you working on continuing the family name?

(

Roxy_Hart is so so old, Mon 1 Sep 2003, 20:24, archived)

Kind of...

..Continuing the blood line, me being the son and all.

I changed my name (family politics - My mother is a complete and utter bitch). My Dad understood, and as Shakespeare said -
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet - it's the blood and heart that counts, and not the title.
