  • Notes 
    • Dr. Nemoiten mentions Charlie in his memoirs: 
http://www.stamfordhistory.org/oh_jnemoitin.htm
      “It was also during the time when Mr. Champagne used to recommend me patients, so he recommended me a patient to 61 Liberty Street, a little boy, a Polish boy, that was very ill. When I came with my bicycle to see that boy, he was having a pneumonia. Now the pneumonia wasn't of such a very bad caliber, he gradually improved, but instead of getting a crisis, he developed pus in his chest. They call that an empyema. ... So I called Dr. Dichter to help me and we opened up his chest. I opened up his chest to put in a tube and the pus came out, and the child began to improve, but the improvement was very slow. “

      Opened practice in 1907, had graduated pharmacy school, then went to medical school. He was 20 when he graduated, had to wait a year to get his medical license at 21. [1, 2]
