Donald HARRISON, Sailor And Physician (1925-2005)
A naval veteran and doctor, he travelled the North to care for Inuit in remote settlements and helped suppress a tuberculosis epidemic
By Tammy LABER, Special to The Globe and Mail, Thursday, September 15, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- Donald HARRISON helped reduce tuberculosis among the Inuit from near-epidemic proportions. In 1962 and 1965, he served as medical officer aboard the C.D. Howe, a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker that patrolled the Eastern Arctic.
He was part of a medical party of four doctors, two nurses, several interpreters and support staff. Each season, they covered about 18,000 kilometres of the North in search of the disease. With the help of his colleagues, he examined almost every inhabitant of Canada's 30 northern-most communities, some merely Hudson's Bay outposts, in such areas of the Eastern Arctic as the Hudson Strait, the Queen Elizabeth Islands and Baffin Island.
Tuberculosis "was the smallpox of the time," said his daughter Helen HARRISON, a historian for the federal government in Ottawa. For years, tuberculosis had raged across the North, where it had infected thousands of Inuit. In the early part of last century, an epidemic had taken authorities by surprise. According to Health Canada, it is probable that First Nations people had less immunity to European strains of tuberculosis, and lacked drugs to cure the disease. By the 1950s, tuberculosis remained a serious problem, fuelled by overcrowding and poor diets that mostly depended on caribou meat. Just 10 years earlier, the annual risk of infection had been among the highest in the world at 25 per cent a year. The disease had scourged the Arctic, claiming more than 700 victims for every 100,000 people, a death rate that remains among the highest ever recorded. In small children, mortality from tuberculosis meningitis was anywhere from 500 to 2,000 per 100,000. Among their older brothers and sisters in residential schools, the death rate approached a staggering 8,000 per 100,000.
By the time Dr. HARRISON arrived in the North, the disease had been largely brought under control. Unlike Greenland and Alaska, where tuberculosis was still an enormous problem, Canada had launched a massive prevention program that combined direct vaccination and oral medication with the result that the mortality rate had dropped to a fraction of that seen during the horror years.
Even so, studies showed that First Nations peoples remained eight times more likely to come down with tuberculosis than other Canadians and Dr. HARRISON's team feared another epidemic.
During his first visit, every person he examined was given a chest X-ray, which was checked by the radiologist in the medical party. Almost without exception, the population of each settlement showed up to be examined. If active tuberculosis was detected, the patient was hospitalized on board and later taken to a sanitarium in the South. In all, 75 Inuit patients out of 2,500 examined were taken from their communities in this manner. The Inuit were generally willing to be moved, because they had seen seriously ill relatives leave on the ship only to return "well and healthy a year or two later," Dr. HARRISON once remarked.
Indeed, the strategy seemed to have some effect in stopping the spread of the disease, because by his second trip, the disease had diminished in incidence.
As well as screening for tuberculosis, the Eastern Arctic Patrol performed an annual survey of the health of the Inuit. To make this possible, the C.D. Howe was equipped with an X-ray machine and a darkroom, a dispensary, an operating room, dental office and special quarters to house up to 40 Inuit patients.
Dr. HARRISON never returned to the North but the results of his work and that of the other doctors who followed him continue to be recorded. Health Canada reports that in the past 20 years, the total number of cases of tuberculosis has been falling rapidly. The mortality rate is approaching zero and the incidence rate is shrinking by a record 14 per cent each year.
Donald HARRISON grew up the son of a Toronto doctor, attended Rosedale Public School and spent summers at the family cottage on Go Home Bay near Honey Harbour, Ontario, where he learned a thing or two about how to handle a boat. He attended Upper Canada College during the war years when the school accelerated its studies, and graduated at 16. Having grown up around boats, he decided the place for him was the navy and he entered a special two-year class at the Royal Canadian Naval College. By 19, he landed on the deck of a glamorous and dashing motor torpedo boat as the junior officer and navigator.
By all accounts, he felt at home. An motor torpedo boat, after all, was just an enlarged version of the low and lean speedboats of his youth. Measuring between 20 and 30 metres, they were enormously powerful and maneuverable weapons that could reach speeds of about 65 kilometres an hour. With a crew of three officers and about 30 men, they were powered by four Packard engines that turned out a whopping 5,000 horsepower but offered few comforts. They carried four torpedoes and a variety of deck guns and mostly worked at night. Each evening, squadrons of motor torpedo boats set off from ports in the English Channel to cause havoc among German forces and returned only in the morning.
Known to his naval Friends as "Hardtack," Dr. HARRISON was "a real gentleman, cheerful, practical and down to earth, with a ready sense of humour," says Professor Bob STAIRS, who served with him on the 65th Canadian Motor Torpedo Boat Flotilla, one of two flotillas manned by Canadians. Between 1944 and 1945, "Hardtack" served as navigator on motor torpedo boats 745 and "We patrolled the English Channel, and then the Belgian and Dutch coasts, the Scheldt Estuary and the North Sea. We would leave an hour before sunset and take a position where we could intercept anyone trying to raid our shipping," said Prof. STAIRS, who taught at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, and is now retired.
While the war at sea was winding down, danger was never far away. In February of 1945, Dr. HARRISON's flotilla was suddenly transferred overnight to Ostend, Belgium, to replace five motor torpedo boats destroyed in a gruesome refuelling fire that killed 26 Canadian sailors. He later signed up for the Pacific, but was on leave when the war ended.
After the war, he became a medical student at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1950. He decided to make a specialty of internal medicine and did five years of postgraduate work at Toronto teaching hospitals and at the Banting Institute, which is part of the University of Toronto.
While in medical school, he became reacquainted with a childhood friend, Joan FLETCHER, who was preparing for a career in medical research. Years before, they had been summer companions at Go Home Bay, where her family also had a cottage. They discovered they had much in common and one thing led to another until, in 1950, they married.
Dr. HARRISON spent six years in Deep River, a company town near Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River nuclear facility. This research and development laboratory was set up after the war to "promote the peaceful uses of nuclear power," said Dr. Joan HARRISON, who worked part-time at the facility.
Returning to Toronto, he conducted private practice and was a medical officer with Bell Canada for 27 years. It was during this time that Bell loaned him to the Department of National Health and Welfare to work in the North. He also made many visits to Saudi Arabia to care for Bell employees sent to install a new telecommunications system in the Kingdom.
Dr. HARRISON was a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada and demonstrated a keen sense of duty as a family physician. "We grew to dread the phone at dinner time," said his son Christopher. "Many meals were interrupted as he went out on a house call." In retirement, he also offered medical attention to cottagers who sought him out on his dock at Go Home Bay.
Sometimes, they got an earful from his bugle, an instrument with which he had become reacquainted. He had learned the bugle while in military college, where he had been assigned to playing Reveille. At Go Home Bay, he lowered the flag (the White Ensign, not "Pearson's new flag") and played The Last Post every night. To the end, he corrected other cottagers who mistook it for the American Taps.
Donald Christopher HARRISON was born in Toronto on April 5, 1925. He died of cancer at home on August 16, 2005. He was 80. He is survived by his wife, Dr. Joan HARRISON, and their four children, Michael, Christopher, David and Helen. He also leaves sisters, Mary BARNETT and Margaret CROSS, and eight grandchildren.

STALL, Gertrude (née BRAUNSTEIN)
Peacefully, on September 12, 2005, surrounded by her family, Gert passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. She was married to her loving husband of 48 years, Nathan STALL, who sadly predeceased her in 1986. Gertrude was born on May 17, 1917 to Annie and Leo BRAUNSTEIN. She had one brother, Morton, who died at age 16 in 1941. Gert and Nathan had 4 children, Shelley, Morton, Phyllis and Richard. They enjoyed living on McAdam Avenue, travelling the world, summers at Winnipeg Beach, dancing on the Moonlight train, golf, bridge and winters in Palm Springs. They were blessed with a loving and close group of Friends that lasted throughout Gert's lifetime. Gert was an accomplished pianist, golfer and bridge player. She attained her diploma from the Toronto Conservatory of Music (ATCM.) She was a life member of Hadassah-Wizo, and her Jewish heritage played a central role throughout her life. She was the heart of our Shabbat dinners, traditions and holidays. We will always remember her wonderful smile, her delicious meals, her emphasis on family gatherings and we will always cherish the times spent together. Gert will always be remembered with great love and much affection by her children, Aubie RUSEN, Phyllis and Marvin SHENKAROW, Richard STALL and Lisa BERGER; her grandchildren, Sara and Howie, Janis and Jeff, Marnie, Lori and Jeff, Michelle and Laurence, Morris and Rana, Nathan, Jacob, Benjamin, and Rosa her great-grandchildren, Benjamin, Hannah, Anna, Noah, Matthew, Natasha, Gillian, Sydney, Samuel, Tyler, Samantha and Abbie. Tragically, she was predeceased by two of her children, her son Morton in 1963, and her daughter Shelley RUSEN in May, 2005. Throughout her life, her dignity, strength and courage were an inspiration to her family. Her values will live in our hearts forever. The family greatly appreciates the care and support extended to her by her caregivers who enabled her to remain at home and enjoy the last years of her life. A special thank you to Dr. Jack RUSEN for his care and compassion. In addition, we are grateful to CancerCare Manitoba for their many acts of kindness. Funeral ser vices were held on Thursday, September 15. Pallbearers were her grand_sons: Howie FOGEL, Laurence GILMAN, Jeff BROWN, Morris SHENKAROW, Nathan STALL, Jacob STALL, Benjamin STALL, and great-grand_son, Benjamin FOGEL.

Should you wish to make a donation, please contact the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, Gertrude and Nathan Stall Fund, or Breast Cancer Research at CancerCare Manitoba. Upon reflection, we realize our Mom had just enough - - Enough trials to make her strong Enough sorrow to keep her human And enough hope to sustain her happiness.
