Well, Rick, it was apparently C. Everett Koop's baby... they gave him hepatitis to see if they could cure it (they couldn't; he ended up alcohol-intolerant, but could have a drink before dinner OR wine with, just not both), and frostbite to see if they could cure that (they couldn't; he had scars the size of quarters on his arm and leg), and I don't know of anything else, those are the 2 things that left permanent marks, so they got talked about. What upset Uncle Greg was that when he chose jail, Grandfather wouldn't bail him out, saying he should stand by his principles. I liked Grandfather, what a great old Quake he was.
