Vonrothbart Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I find it typical of the world we live in today, when a man who helped save the lives of millions, by eradicating smallpox, doesn't even get a mention on news. ( unless I missed it by blinking ) So RIP Dr Donald Henderson. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
