The sad news of the recent death of our friend and former associate, Richard W. B. Ellis, reminds us of the year he spent with us as a resident pediatrician at the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, a fact not mentioned in his obituary in The Lancet. We who knew him best here always felt the experience was most rewarding for us and in our all too rare meetings with Dick, here and abroad, he often mentioned how much he had valued his medical training in this country. From the first weeks of his sojourn with us in 1929, it was readily apparent he was an unusual individual.
