All the best,

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
