Hearing that a new TB sanatorium was to be built in Waukegan, he spent three months reading books on hospitals, talking to doctors, studying disease rates and nurse-patient ratios. His high-pressure expertise so snowed the selection committee that he won the job over many a more seasoned architect.

Sea View, which housed 1,500 tuberculous patients in 1951, now has only 21, is being turned mainly into a hospital and home for the aged. Famed Trudeau Sanatorium in New York's Adirondack Mountains, which treated 12,500 victims, has shut its doors to them and turned to research and other chest diseases.
