Mailman Who Donated Kidney Named Hero of the Year |
|
A mailman in rural Maryland who donated a kidney to a retired school teacher who lives on his postal route has been named national Hero of the Year by the 307,000-member National Association of Letter Carriers. Paul Wagoner, 42, of Short Gap, WV, was to be presented the award at a special ceremony in Washington, DC. Wagoner came
to the aid of one of his regular customers, Dave Phillips, after
learning of Phillips' long-time kidney difficulties (see earlier
Transplant Week story).
The successful transplant operation took place at the University
of Maryland Medical Center. Other
