Whitney North Seymour, Jr., known as "Mike," was a New York State Senator in the 1960s and United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1970 to 1973.
In a letter to Historic Saranac Lake in 2011, Mr. Seymour wrote:
"I was one of the last patients to cure at Trudeau, when the new chemotherapy came into use. I completed my curing at 89 Park Avenue and then returned to New York City where I was an Assistant U. S. Attorney in 1956. My wife, Catryna (then 25) stayed at 89 Park Avenue with me. We walked for an hour every morning and afternoon, including in the deep snow, and learned important lessons about the role of nature in speeding return to good health. (I still listen for the hermit thrush and look for the witch-hobble in the early spring.)
When I was in Saranac Lake, I listened to a lot of classical recordings and developed a strong interest in Brahms and Mendelsohn, which still give me pleasure. I was also fascinated by the stories of creative people who developed TB over the years.
