LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

I'd always offer up a silent thanks to Dr. Plaut when a parent told me they really "got it"-and felt confident understanding asthma and using prescribed meds-after they were provided with his invaluable little booklet. I have subscribed to Yankee for years and am a native New Englander: born in Portland, Maine; my father from Waterville and his dad an Irish immigrant who worked for the Maine Central Railroad; my mother from Monson with parents from Finland. I eventually guessed Mr. Broudy bought his home from Dr. Thomas Plaut, whose One-Minute Asthma booklet helped this nurse teach, and parents learn from, all the important asthma basics and so much more.
