Sid Sklar holds the photograph of the man who took a chance to restore his sight. Dr. Ramon Castroviejo performed a corneal transplant on Sklar on Sept. 17, 1941, the first ever in the country. At the age of 80, Sid is a successful artist and treasures this photo of the man who made his sight possible. The donated cornea was from a stillborn baby and every morning sid says "god bless you baby" to the baby who has given him sight.
