My gift to Investigative Reporters and Editors honors Dr. Samuel C. Hughes, who died Jan. 20, 2008, in San Francisco, Calif., after a distinguished career devoted especially to the care of mothers and children worldwide, and those living with HIV.In an essay, NBC science and health correspondent Robert Bazell said later that spring: "Whatever the list of requirements to be good doctor might include, Sam embodied most of them: intelligence, charm, curiosity, compassion, and decisiveness, to name a few."
Sam inspired my donation with his generosity and his joie de vivre, over and over again. Thank you, Sam!
