Many years ago,44 to be exact,a young Dr John Pifer was about to deliver his first set of twins,our twins .Dr John was filling in for our regular doctor,Russell Glaser. Dr John approached me in the waiting room at the old Normandy hospital and advised me my twins were breach/double footling and he would need some expert help and would I mind if he called in Dr Couts. I agreed,and thank God I did, as it was because of his skill, that 44 years later, these two, of my four sons are doing quite well and continue to bring joy to my wife and me.Dr Couts approached me,a very young 23 year old father,and assured me that all was well and put me at ease. As I did in his life 44 years ago,and as I do now in the end of his life,I say thank you Dr Couts,and God shine upon you,and rest in peace.
