When Jim Westerhold ’97 decided to donate one of his kidneys to a stranger earlier this year, many of his friends asked him why he would literally give a part of himself to someone he did not know. For him, it all boiled down to one notion: "I've been overly blessed, and I couldn't come up with a reason not to." Now, nine months after the procedure and meeting Gene Pitts, the recipient of his kidney, both have a renewed appreciation for their lives.
