Editor,
 
   After Dr. Martin disappeared, Dr. Bondurant took care of my daughter.  We took her there (UTMB) in August, 1969.  She went to Dr. Otto but he died within a year or so.
   I knew Dr. Martin very well.  When my daughter was in the hospital, I stayed there with her all the time.
   I have never heard of Jon Son.
   We just loved Dr. Martin.  He was just so kind.  He disappeared in '76 and he was her doctor for about five years and then when he disappeared Dr. Bondurant was her doctor.
   She wasn't in the hospital when he disappeared, but I heard about it because I had sent my nephew there to see Dr. Martin and he was in the hospital when Dr. Martin disappeared.
   It came as such a shock and I had never heard any more about the case until your story (The Police News, February 2008)appeared on my computer screen and I nearly fell out of my chair.
   I had Googled the Titus Harris Clinic and it gave me a long list of things that mentioned the clinic and one of them said, "Winston" and immediately I knew what that was and I clicked on that and it gave me your webpage and there was that article with his picture.
   I wish I had kept a ledger in my years there because I stayed right there in the hospital with all those patients and I had many stories. I'll be 88 next month.
   I have lots of stories about his (Dr. Martin) shock treatments that you mentioned.  He really did believe in them.  Sometimes too much.
