LIBERTY SHIP SURVIVOR: Why Ray Laenen is so Proud to be an American Liberty Ship Survivor is the compelling tale of one man's journey from Belgian immigrant to proud and patriotic American citizen. Over 100 photographs support his incredible tales of courage, survival, faith, friendship and forgiveness. Remie "Ray" Laenen's parents brought him to America from Oevel, Belgium in 1927, in search of freedom and opportunity. The family settled on the East Side of Detroit. After graduating from St. Rose High School in 1944, Ray immediately went into the United States Army, where he would learn a life-defining lesson about the true cost of freedom. On February 6, 1945, Ray's life was changed forever. His Liberty Ship was sunk in the Indian Ocean by torpedoes from a German U-boat. He survived an incredible twenty-two day ordeal in a crowded lifeboat, only to return to service more determined than ever to defend America's freedom.

The book describes Dr. Sevelius' long career as medical scientist, pursuing specifically what can be learned from a radiocardiogram (RCG), the recording through the skin of the heart flow, the cardiac output (CO), the most fundamental of all body functions. The RCG has been slow in acceptance in clinical medicine. One worry has been the radiation. The radiation is approximately one-third that of a chest x-ray and should be of minor concern with proper education. Another difficulty is how to interpret the results.
