Cancer Is Fatal To Young Detroit Man Finished College Despite Illness DETROIT (UP) - Doctors told Leonard Kerschke he had perhaps six months to live. That was on Feb. 1. He was only 27 but, he said, “When you live- a happy Ife, a 'foil life, it matters little how old' you are when you die.” Kerschke died Monday of cancer. It hadn’t been six months. It had been only 73 days. Kerschke was born in Detroit. He enrolled at Wayne University after graduation from Royal Oak High School in 1947. He worked hard to put himself through Wayne. Once he quit, but his wife talked him into going back. He was studying for a career as a teacher. Then on Jan. 6 he dove into a YMCA pool and found something was wrong. “I was trying to do A jackknife and didn't open up properly,” he explained. Doctors operated and discovered the cancer. But Leonard got his college degree. Wayne President Dr. Clarence B. Hilberry delivered it in person to Kerschke's , hospital room. Then in February, on the birthday. of their daughter, Darleen, Kerschke’s wife, Athleyne, gave birth to their second child, Valerie. To them, the slender young man with the shy smile left his legacy, a letter: “I have had a good life. It has been a struggle, but the past year has been the happiest of my life.” » AM ** "■ 1 *■*■«■ Firemen Called Out Early This Morning The Decatur fire department was called at 12:15 a.m. today when the brakes in a truck owned by Ed Emil of Decatur became overheated.
