My kidneys were the size of a 3- or 4- year-old’s.” Her last chance at survival was something newspapers described then as the new “medical mira cle” of kidney transplantation. “It was a miracle,” Dr. Bruce Wall of the Dallas Transplant Insti tute, said. Wall is one of Burt’s physicians. “Back in the ’50s, when the first ones were done, they were only done for identical twins be cause we had no anti-rejection drugs,” he said. That had changed by the time Burt’s father was found to be an eligible donor. He seized the op portunity. “Anything to save my daugh ter,” she said of his attitude at the time, which was before the days of organ waiting lists. It was not even the first time he had come to her rescue, she said. Charles Kilgore gave his daughter a life-saving emergency blood trans fusion when she was a newborn. Today, Burt is eager to show visitors a photo of the beloved man, smiling, cowboy hat perched atop his head. “Daddy and 1 were very close,” she said. “There’s nothing we did n’t do together.” But in April 1998, the retired telephone company switchman died of lung cancer. Within weeks, Burt’s kidney — his gift of life — began to fail, too. WASHINGTON (.AP) — Chicago, Louisville and Hous ton are among the 14 cities se lected as test communities by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a home building program de signed to create 1 million new dwellings over the next 10 years. Under the pilot program, each of the cities selected will receive technical assistance in the form of trained staff from HUD to help mayors and home builders develop approaches to reduce barriers to new con struction, HUD secretary An drew Cuomo said yesterday. “New homes transform neighborhoods and transform lives by attracting residents, businesses and jobs that cities need to reverse decades of de cline,” Cuomo said. Each of the cities submitted a plan to HUD officials describ ing how it intends to stream line the home building process in its own community. For example, in the Louisville proposal, city officials said they plan to consolidate all its in spections, permitting, licensing and code enforcement functions into one agency and assist de velopers in reducing the cost and time of construction by waiving certain impact fees.
