Subject: George H. Keeney info
Dan, here is a correction of information about my late grandfather, George Harvey Keeney.
The information appeared on the site where Roscoe's Keeney Update page. My
corrections are based on a privately published 131-page brochure submitted to the
Iowa State Medical Society "in support of our claim that George Harvey Keeney
M.D. should be chosen Practitioner of the Year 1960." I suspect I am the only person
who now has a copy. It has original photographs and was obviously typed
(remember TYPEWRITERS?? B- )
I'm not quite sure what the arrangement is between you and Roscoe, (it looks like you run
his site??) but I know you will know how to handle the change. It may have been
corrected elsewhere and I'm just not aware of where it was changed.
