A celebration of courage and heart
From left to right Col. Robert J. Becklund flew the F-4 that delivered the transplant heart, Andrew De La Pena is the heart recipient, and Marguerite E. Brown, RN, MSN, is a member of the team that recovered the heart. Marguerite Brown was the Stanford University Medical Center nurse who handled the little red and white cooler with the tiny heart in it to Col. Becklund as he prepared to speed off into the night in his F-4 to California.
