All the best,

Subject: HM's contribution
remembered in the New York Times
Dear Colleagues,
Here is a wonderful article that appeared
on the front page of the New York Times today commemorating the life of HM and
his role as the research subject in the fundamental memory studies by Brenda
Milner. HM’s life story is touching: his contributions to research
are recognized and his relationship with Dr. Milner and her colleagues is
kindly portrayed.
An article by Peggy Curran marking the
death of HM and highlighting his role in Dr. Milner’s research appeared
in the front section of the Montreal Gazette today.
Please see: http://www.montrealgazette.com/Remembering+memory/1032712/story.html
Please join me in offering condolences to
Dr. Milner and to her former student Dr. Suzanne Corkin (Professor of
Behavioral Neuroscience, MIT) who have lost a friend.
Regards,
Beth Kofron
