Donor and recipient meet after bone marrow gift
Michael Davidson traveled from England to Columbus to collect on a debt of life owed by Robert Kaufman. In 1993 Davidson donated bone marrow to Kaufman, who had myelodysplastic syndrome, and the transplant kept him alive. Kaufman and his family welcomed Davidson at Port Columbus. Davidson and Kaufman had never met but knew each other through letters and calls. Kaufman’s recovery prognosis was strong, per Dr. Zora Rogers.
