Gordon Folger is a retired academic pediatric cardiologist with a family history on Nantucket Island dating from 1660. In those years, as might be expected, family members had been employed in many different professions varying from whalers to hoteliers, the latter playing a most important role in the T. Bailey story. Dr. Folger's earliest years were spent in a hotel owned by the family, the Sea Cliff Inn, later in another hotel, aptly named the Gordon Folger. In each of these venues he was surrounded by the works of art found reproduced in this, the T. Bailey saga. Of interest is the fact that, as a guest at the Sea Cliff Inn, T. Bailey partially paid his room rent with artwork accounting for the sizable number illustrated herein. Throughout his academic medical career, Dr. Folger authored numerous scientific articles, abstracts, and textbook chapters. This is his second book.
