Scope and content
This series contains documents created and collected by Morley in the research and writing of his book Kenneth George McKenzie 1892-1964: the Founding of Canadian Neurosurgery published in 2004 [1]. Included are extensive interview notes with various colleagues that either worked or trained with Dr. McKenzie at the Toronto General Hospital including John Scott, Harry Botterell, Charlie Drake, Norman Delarue and Ted Dewar. There are also interview notes with some of McKenzie’s daughters and granddaughters. Most files contain notes compiled by Morley from primary research which is supplemented by correspondence. While there is not a complete manuscript there are some drafts of chapters.
Also included in this series are original medical records belonging to McKenzie that Morley had preserved. Most relate to a specific patient whose case is discussed in the book and described in the section The First Hemispherectomy for Epilepsy (p. 113 – 118). Records include original correspondence, examination reports, surgical and conference reports, photographs, X-rays, and microscopic slide specimens. Also included are drafts of an unpublished paper by McKenzie discussing this case. Finally, there is documentation on two other clinical cases discussed in the book: Spasmatic Torticollis p.66-70 which includes an original manuscript of a paper written with Harvey Cushing (1924) and; Spinal Tumor (p.70-74) which is documented by original medical reports. There is a third medical case file but its direct relation to the cases discussed in the book is unclear. Finally, a compilation book of McKenzie’s publications has been preserved here. This was passed to Morley by McKenzie’s son, Fred McKenzie.
All Morley’s records for the book are found in B2006-0011/004 while McKenzie patient records ar
Autobiography of Jane Younger McKenzie
Aug 20, 1936
I was born and brought up in Berkeley where I attended the public schools and the University which I completed the summer of 1932. [according to the Golden Book of California University of California, 1937, Jane Younger, Berkeley, graduated from UC Berkeley, class of 1932, Bachelor’s Degree in social work.] When I was in high school I went abroad with the family for a year. College work was interupted [sic] the end of the third year by a fall from a horse which caused concussion of the brain and effects similar to a nervous breakdown which delayed mg return for two years. After finishing college my mother and I took a trip to the Orient, planning to continue on to Europe. Instead we returned to Shanghai where I married a man whom I bad previously met in Berkeley. [Bjorn Ake Hartman, according to Donald McKenzie’s “Younger Descendancy Chart, August 19, 1996; according to the Golden Book of California University of California, 1937, B. Oke Hartman, Shanghai China, UC Berkeley, class of 1928 {did not graduate}] My mother then returned to the United States. After a year of marriage my husband and I separated, I returning to California where I began to look for some permanent work. I entered the Social Service Curriculum the fall of 1934 until May 1935. I worked the fall of that year through January 1936. I audited courses at the University until obtaining further work for a month from April to May.
My mother and father were married in Santa Cruz where they had both been brought up. My father, an attorney, tended to drink and also had a difficult disposition to live with. My mother then moved to Berkeley in hopes that the change of environment might help, but my father remained in Santa Cruz, making fewer and fewer visits. He continued to live with his mother. We were never told of these difficulties as children and would always see our father on our frequent visits to our grandparents, our parents maintaining Sarah Quilliam, manager of the Hemlock Falls Inn, and her chef sister, Meg, turn detective when a reenactment of the seventeenth century witch trials turns all too real when a mock execution leads to a very dead victim. A new Hemlock Falls Inn mystery finds the Inn’s proprietors, the Quillam sisters, facing poor business and inveigling television’s Helena Houndswood to tape one of her stylish shows at the Inn, which leads to a mysterious death and disappearance. The Quilliam sisters have a nose for fine food and good business. But when a nosy newspaperman goes sniffing around the local mini mall project, Sarah and Meg begin to smell something rotten in Hemlock Falls. It’s worse than corruption it’s murder. And the newsman is facing his final deadline. Includes a recipe from the Hemlock Falls Inn. Hosting the wedding rehearsal dinner of ex senator Alphonse Santini, who seeks reelection and has transformed the quiet inn at Hemlock Falls into a po Ten years ago, in 2003, Gayton McKenzie was released from maximum-security prison in Bloemfontein after a long jail term. Like most ex-convicts he had no money and very big dreams. Unlike most ex-convicts he went on to become South Africa's most highly paid motivational speaker, a bestselling co-author of an autobiography, a successful businessman and a mining consultant earning millions. He did this despite only having matric and a violent criminal record. To many, what he achieved should have been impossible. But hustlers succeed not because of anything. They succeed despite everything. The McKenzie story is unique, but there are so many universal truths behind it that a book like this will speak to anyone who has ever been serious about following a seemingly impossible dream.Hemlock Falls Books In Order
