Born Sept. 13, 1914 in Millington, Md., he grew up on a working farm. His love of medicine began at age 12 when he underwent surgery for pneumonia, and he entered Washington College in Chestertown, Md., at the age of 16.

When asked what he felt was the most important happening in his lifetime, his answer was always “the invention of penicillin”.
