Don Malmquist, died in 1977, age 33, while in the hospital waiting for a heart-bypass operation that had been postponed because the condition of other patients were deemed more critical. He was a charming brilliant man, an expert Egyptologist, knowledgeable about astronomy, government, and every thing else he took an interest in. He participated in civil rights marches, went down south to register blacks to vote, and traveled to help with JFK's presidental campaign. [Anne]
