Hello Linda.
I agree. Dr. Spitz was a great person. I frequented him through all the 1970's Starting from the Broad st hospital and then in Morton. As I said I used to see him ( also Dr. Karpin and Dr. Delacato) because I became his favorite Italian and Spanish interpreter. I did it because I wanted to help those kids from Europe and Dr. Spitz has always appreciated that. Imagine that when in 1978 I started working, and it was not easy to leave the job, he used to call me in my office and organize conference calls from his office so that I could talk to the babies parents and translate to him.
I wanted to add that Besides being a pilot, Dr. Spitz was also a race car lover, specially a Ferrari lover. When I met him he told me he had a 12 Cylinder Ferrari that he had just bought from the actor Robert Stack. And I never forget Dr. Spitz's face when one of the people from Italy, Mr Benelli handed him the book of the Enzo Ferrari history, signed personally by Enzo Ferrari.
