Aaron Brookner Quotes

Howard was fortunate because his family and friends supported him, but a chilling thing I remember was these guys at St. Vincent's Hospital who would call out for someone to listen to them, just for a moment. They were dying alone. Who knows what happened to their work? It's been a process to follow the thread to find out everything Howard did. It's getting over that shock.
