Henry J. Kaiser — dashing lifesaver
Henry J. Kaiser was an industrialist, health plan founder...and lifesaver.
On July 3, 1951, at 69 years of age, Henry J. Kaiser sped off in a speedboat to rescue his wife Alyce "Ale" Kaiser and founding Permanente physicians Dr. Sidney Garfield and Dr. Cecil Cutting when their catamaran capsized in the frigid waters of Lake Tahoe.
