Muriel Petioni, M.D., Saves Harlem Hospital From Closing
To the Editor:
This is a wonderful article of the important Black Female physician whom we knew all our lives because she was at Howard Medical School. Her late father was Dr. John V. Golding, Sr. She was a legend who lived for 100 years until she passed in 2011! She was a family friend and inspiration to all female physicians regardless of ethnicity. She will always be remembered and greatly missed for all her contributions to the Harlem Community like her venerable physician father, whom we remember as children.

The Misunderstanding Of Dyslexia
To the Editor:
It’s funny how people can mistake a person’s frustration for being rude or short tempered. They do understand tasks better than what they are given credit for. But when some of them do the task wrong, then they get frustrated with themselves. How can one raise awareness of dyslexia successfully? I am in South Africa and here they understand even less.

To the Editor:
To Dr. Pola Rosen: It is always so good to be exposed to your wide-ranging ideas, your grasp of big subjects and your enthusiasm. You are a breath of hope, of future plans, of connecting everyone.

Joyce Cowin: Philanthropist
To the Editor:
I’m so proud of my cousin Joyce. I just turned 89, and in my whole life I have never encountered such a wonderful career and record of philanthropy and good works. I think Joyce has become one of the great people in our society, and there are not very many of those. Dear Joyce: may you be as happy as you deserve.
