Francis M. Forster, MD, one of the founding fathers of the AAN, died on Feb. 23 of congenital heart failure. He had celebrated his 94th birthday on Feb. 14.
Dr. Forster's expertise was in pathophysiology and treatment of epilepsy, the role of the brain in the automatic nervous system, and the origin of human fasciculation and fibrillation in denervated muscle. His colorful neurology career included treating President Dwight D. Eisenhower following his stroke in 1957. He was also one of several physicians who examined Jack Ruby, who claimed that epilepsy caused him to shoot the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald. Dr. Foster testified at the 1964 trial that Mr. Ruby did not have epilepsy.
