Doc of the Day - October 5


New Testament carried in the breast pocket of night watchman Robert Hanson. Early in the morning of October 5, 1978, an intruder shot Hanson in the chest as he made his rounds in the American Cancer Society office, Charleston. The bible stopped the .22 caliber bullet just short of piercing his chest, leaving a bruise. (Sc80-317)
