Dear Sir,
We read with appreciation the comprehensive article by Azab et al. about our father and grandfather, John Edwin Scarff.[
He often spoke with pleasure and gratitude of his professional experiences traveling abroad. He enjoyed and benefited from his interaction with Neurological Surgeons in the Middle East, Central and South America, and Europe, and he related to us the Neurosurgical personalities, history, contributions, and techniques he encountered there.
This thoughtful article honors him by highlighting his legacy as investigator, scientist, and physician that he embodied and passed on to future generations.
