Henry Judah Heimlich (February 3, 1920 – December 17, 2016)

CINCINNATI (AP) –  The surgeon who created the life-saving Heimlich
maneuver for choking victims has died.

Dr. Henry Heimlich died early Saturday at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. His
son, Phil, says he suffered a heart attack earlier in the week.

Heimlich was director of surgery at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati in 1974
when he devised the treatment for choking victims that made his name a
household word.

on the NBC television Tonight Show in 1979.

On Saturday, December 7, 1907 Christmas seals were 
sold for the first time by Emily Bissell of the American
Red Cross in Wilmington, Delaware. She barrowed the
money from friends to print the first 50,000 Seals and
got permission from the Wilmington postmaster to sell
them in lobby of the post office.
