Achondroplasia runs in one side of my family. One uncle of mine had it. My grandmother recognized it and took her son to Mayo Clinic around 1925, where the doctors injected him with growth hormone. He became a big dwarf. In WW II he was a US Navy gunnery ensign, where he lost his hearing and nearly, his life. He was probably the most likable Norstog who ever lived. I still miss him.
