Dr. Stanley Biber, R.I.P.

I was in Trinidad once. &, dear SideKick, no. Here was a man who did good in the world, & he ought to be appreciated.

"As a physician and general surgeon in the remote southern Colorado town of Trinidad, Dr. Stanley Biber treated the usual sore throats and broken arms and did his share of delivering babies, removing appendixes and replacing hips and knees.

But that's not what made Biber the most famous resident of Trinidad and put the former coal-mining town in the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains on the map.

Biber, who died of complications of pneumonia in a Pueblo hospital Monday at age 82, was known for turning tiny Trinidad into the 'Sex-Change Capital of the World.'"
