Dear Dr Ellen Seldin, 
I first met Donald when I invited him as a visiting professor to my department at Coney Island Hospital, serving the neighborhood of his childhood and adolescence. We became soul brothers, and he gave me some sage advice when I was considering moving to Israel. I invited him again to be a visiting professor at our new medical school, the Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva, Israel. He then graciously returned a second time to our "Bar Mitzvah" celebration thirteen...

While Dr. Seldin has numerous well deserved accolades, he provide me and many other residents with the best challenges and inspirations to our learning. I enjoyed the Friday morning Stump Dr. Seldin sessions at St Paul Dept. of Internal Medicine in 1990. We were never able to stump him. He was such an outstanding physician.

Despite his long and full life, I am still saddened to hear of the death of Dr. Seldin ... one of the greatest teachers and physicians of all time. I learned so much from him as an intern. We got along great. He will never be forgotten. I will miss you The Don

Dr. Seldin was truly a remarkable man that we had the honor of getting to know as our neighbor. His contributions in the field of medicine are legendary, but what Ill remember him for are his French omelletes, interest in our sons future college endeavors, and compliments on a fence I built; all shades of knowing his character that few of his colleagues can boast. Ill miss my neighbor and friend. Our condolences to Ellen, and his surviving family members.
