 AB    Dr. Orville Messenger and his wife, Dorothy wrote a book, Borrowed Time,
       which chronicled his decade-long struggle with AIDS. The disease
       developed following a 1985 blood transfusion. A general and thoracic
       surgeon who also worked for the Canadian Medical Protective Association,
       Dr. Messenger wrote the book to raise public awareness, and money for
       AIDS research, prevention and treatment. He died Dec. 13, 1995--exactly
       10 years after being told to take a blood test because of possible HIV
       infection.
