This features a presentation by Dr. Sidney Kaye on the occasion of the Milton Helpern Lecture at the annual meeting of the National Association of Medical Examiners near Fort Myers in Florida in 1989. The author experienced the "golden age" of forensic medicine as a student and associate of Dr. Alexander Gettler in the New York Medical Examiner's Office. He also worked with Dr. Rutherford Gradwohl in the St. Louis Police Department and was one of the founders of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He was the toxicologist in the Virginia medical examiners' system before moving to Puerto Rico. His discussion is a historical review of his experiences in developing forensic sciences.
