A Suitcase Traveling Through Time

In the mid 1990s, Sidney Garfield's grandnephew, Ed Blackman, contacted one of us (VF, an internist) to ask if he would like to have a suitcase of Dr Garfield's medical records that Ed had just retrieved from his grandmother's, Sally Garfield Blackman's, basement. (Ed and I already knew each other because, years ago, Ed had worked in my department for a few months after Dr Garfield called to ask whether the department might have a temporary summer opening for his sister's grandson.) I was certainly interested in the papers, I told Ed.
