Herman H. EELKEMA M.D.

Irene, Liz, Bill, Jim, Harry and John: I am very sorry for your loss. H.H. was a big presence in my childhood, and I'll never forget how he was the first person to go running in the neighborhood for the exercise. (When passersby jeered and threw things, he became a walker, as I recall it. How times have changed.)
