Heart transplant patient Wylie Julliard, 22, of Babylon, N.Y., fondles a St. Jude medal, his patron saint. The medal, a family heirloom, was given to him by a nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Long Island where he spent some time. He was operated on at the Cleveland Clinic, 12/16/68, after donor Marc Seelenfreund of New Jersey died in a traffic accident on the Ohio Turnpike. He is getting along fine, but will remain in the hospital until the flu epidemic subsides.
