Edward Gibbons Lives!
"Julita [retired pathologist Dr. Julita Fong] and I moved to the Oregon coast 4-years ago and she still receives numerous publications from various facets of the medical profession... We both enjoyed the humor and insight to be found in the Gibbons article in SSVM magazine [of May/June, 2004]. I've always regarded humor as a benchmark of a keen intellect. It's rare these days to find an example of humor and insight that is nearly, but not quite benign. Well done!! It was nice to see how adroitly you laid to rest the notion that 'dead men tell no tales.' Indeed, the words of the dead might guide us all if we only knew how to listen. Greetings from the coast..."

A Very Speical History Issue
"Congratulations and sincerest thanks for the very special March/April issue of Sierra Sacramento Valley Medicine. This is a wonderful collection of research into the past - a past that can't be allowed to pass into oblivion…
"I was particularly pleased to see the writings of Dr. Fred Fairchild made available for physicians outside Woodland. He wrote these memoirs for new physicians to the Woodland Clinic that they might appreciate what medical practice was like in his early days of practice in Yolo County. This is exactly what you are doing with your remarkable Museum and with this issue of Sierra Sacramento Valley Medicine. I particularly commend Dr. Robert LaPerriere for his dedication in developing the Museum and restoring the Sacramento Cemetery. And I thank my Sacramento colleagues who have shared this same passion for history and shared it in this issue with all of us."

Sutter's Fort? Not that early.
Alphie Liming of the Sacramento's Convention and Visitor's Bureau points out that in Echoes of Disaster, in the March/April issue, John Work may have stopped in Sacramento in 1833 - but not at Sutter's Fort, built after John Sutter's arrival in 1839. Liming adds, "Nonetheless, I enjoyed the publication and am looking forward to reading more!"
