[y more stories to be told and the faintly,
of their own.
n remember on OCcaSioir Pr. Corrin giving
horseradish to his kids saying'that it was mashed Moes,
His daughters remember stories of their father sitting in the
laps of little old ladies and, ono in particular a year-old
at the nursing home,
Many stories have been told to ,the f .. q . about .

Corrin doing rounds in the hospital,vin. picked up one
of the babies from the nur , showingit elf to his various
pa eats in the hospital;
Dr, Coraco had mentioned to his family that "r y ,
knowing the people is a large part of what doctoripg is all
hbout."
On a more sertuu►s note I .would describe Dr. Conlntd d
terminology that had been used ?ter describe one of the=;
American Presidents earlier in the century.
