The Magic Tonsillectomy or Armstrong's Voodoo Science?

[LR Trotter]

Interesting thought, but, as you say, Marguerite indicated the tonsillectomy was performed on January 17, 1945 by Dr. Philben. According to the FBI, admittedly always suspect, the mastoidectomy was performed Feb. 8, 1946 by Dr. C.E. Ball at Harris Hospital.

Thanks Jim. The reference I saw earlier indicated that the Mastoidectomy occurred when LHO was age 6, but the year was 1945. Quite likely, with the birth year being 1939, adding his age would then equal 1945, without regards for his birth month of October, and the surgery month being February. Just a guess of course, but quite possible.
