I was there in the 80s and there was a beautiful, but really unsafe dining room building that I imagine was for the employees. What happened to it? Do you...
Have you gotten a 'tour' yet? I have been there several times, with permission from security as I only go where they say to stay. It is very interesting....

Oh yes, the chop jock Walter Freeman. That guy was a media junkie. Ideal surgical conditions were not of great concern to him. He even preformed a lobotomy...
I love looking at your pictures. I have that post card as well. Though I do have one question. That gate with the archway on the front of your page, did you...
I read a book about Walter Freeman...very interesting...He thought it was time consuming and unnecessary to wash your hands or to sterilize equipment. That is...
Yes I have done some reading about him too. I find it so amazing that he was even allowed to stay in practice as long as he did. The man did not even have an...
