Original Toronto Star caption: Quartet with new lease on life, Four men who have had kidney transplant operations are recuperating in Toronto Western Hospital. Arthur van Zandt (left), first of four to undergo surgery, also lost left arm. William Weber (second from left) and John Dorosz, being visited by wife, both received kidneys from Mrs. Frank Skilton, whose husband consented as she lay dying of cerebral hemorrhage. William Blackburn was operated on a month ago.
