Aid for International Medicine, Inc. (AIM) our first 25 years

At the city limits of Newark, Delaware, are signs which say in part, "Welcome to Newark, a city rich in history, past and present." That sounds strange to our ears, but it does serve to point out that history is being made all the time - every day. Part of the medical history in Delaware being "made every day" concerns AIM, Aid for International Medicine, Inc. a Delaware corporation started in 1964, largely through the efforts of our own John M. Levinson. In the following article he records the chronology and accomplishments of this unusual organization. This is so different from our usual articles that I had some misgivings about publishing it. I sent it out to all members of our editorial board. The response was overwhelmingly and enthusiastically in favor of publishing it, so here it is, AIM as seen through Jack Levinson's eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as our editorial board did.
