Billy Gray Anderson, OPO Director, Dies in Car Crash

Anderson spent nearly all of his adult life in organ procurement, starting at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine's Department of Surgery in North Carolina, and moving to Norfolk, VA, in 1976 where he became department head of the Eastern Virginia Transplant Program at Norfolk General Hospital.

In 1980, he became director of the Hampton Roads division of the Virginia Organ Procurement Program, and two years later, he became executive director of the Virginia Tissue Bank, which is now LifeNet.
