Hindus believe that the soul, upon death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form. Christians believe that after judgment, the soul finds its eternal rest in heaven or hell depending on the goodness or evil of the person's lifelong deeds. The Sadducees, a Palestinian sect in Biblical times, denied the existence of any life after death at aU. In truth, there abound many philosophies about and definitions of the renewal of life. But to Dr. John Evangelista' 72, who is executive director of the Greater Metropolitan Bone Bank in New York, the definition is simple-simple because he sees it everyday in the work of his Foundation. For transplant recipients who benefit from donations bequeathed by others, life is renewed.

Established byJohn and his associate, Dr. Vincent technique. The bone is taken from donors aged 16 to Vigorita in 1986, the Greater Metropolitan Bone 65, most of whom suffered cardiac or brain death, Bank (GMBB) Foundation was incorporated as an John explains.

It's estimated that over 200,000 bone transplants are performed each year in the U.S., and John notes that doctors could "prob, ably do 400,000 a year if there was enough bone to go around, but there isn't." As of May, over 300 bone grafts have been done with bone provided by the GMBB. The lack of donors and the lack of public and professional awareness of the need for donors is John's single greatest frustration about his work. "With the aging population we have," he states, "in the next five to 10 years the demand for hips and knee reconstruction will increase." As executive director of the bone bank, John's job entails working with hospitals for organ and tissue procurement, and overseeing hospital procurement policies to ensure that they are properly implemented. He also has the opportunity to offer educational lectures to both public and professional groups on organ and tissue donation. That gives him the chance to work on one ofhis goals; to be able to supply and meet the demand Attending to one of his duties as head of the Greater for allograft bone. in the Metropolitan New York MetropoUtan Bone Bank in Brooklyn, NY is Dr. John Evangelista, a 1972 SC alum. area.

"It's very much human service oriented. My work entails community development and human development with the emphasis on prevention rather than 'after the fact' treatment.

In the latter case, the head, lines about Marion Barry and the homicide rate paint a slanted picture from her perspective.

Plus, some physical therapy for the worker might be necessary as well." What is the difference between the physical therapy one receives from a hospital and that provided by START, which stands for "Sports Therapy for Athletic Rehabilitation and Treatment"? "A physical therapist tends to treat only the injury itself. They do a strength test then set up a treatment plan according to the results. In sports medicine, we do the same strength test, plus some computerized testing to measure functional ability to throw, run, ride a bike, or whatever. Our testing and OF treatment is less static.

------8------20TH ANNUAL SUMMER GAMES WERE TRULY "SPECIAL"

""r lhe First Gold Rush In The West" was the theme of the Massachusetts Special Olympics' 20th Annual Summer Games held June 22~24 at Springfield College, which marked the first time this competition has ever been held in Western Massachusetts. And by all accounts, the event lived up to its promise of being the best Games ever, as participants, officials and volunteers all agreed the event was truly special. More than 2,100 athletes and an estimated 800 coaches traveled from all around the Commonwealth to take part in the 1990 Summer Games. Records were broken and new standards were set in all competitive events. Aside from a brief, but memorable, downpour on Saturday afternoon, even the weather cooperated and a great time was had by all.
