 \, graduating in that new school’s first June class\, of 1966. He receiv
 ed his certifications of Medical Laboratory Scientist and Specialist in Bl
 ood Banking from Mount Sinai Hospital Medical Center\, Chicago\, where he 
 began his career. Alan then served in Blood Bank management for the Cook C
 ounty Hospital\, and Loyola University Medical Center. Since his retiremen
 t\, he has continued to teach at Loyola\, as well as at RUSH University an
 d the Hines VA Medical Center. Free and open to the public. Donations are
