Born and brought up in Warsaw, Poland, Stefan Andrew Carter survived the
horrors of World War II and immigrated to Winnipeg in 1948. He enrolled in
the University of Manitoba and graduated with M.Sc. and M.D. degrees in
1954. He did postgraduate training in cardiovascular function and vascular
disease in Winnipeg, New York and the Mayo Clinic. In 1958, he returned to
Winnipeg to join the staff at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of
Manitoba in the Departments of Physiology and later Medicine. Over a period of forty years his teaching about cardiovascular function was combined with research and clinical work. The results of his research were presented at national and international meetings and led to numerous publications in refereed journals, reviews and book chapters. Throughout this time, he was a staff member at St. Boniface Hospital and director of its Vascular Laboratory. In 2003, he was a recipient of the St. Boniface Heart Care Award. His extracurricular activities include talking about his experiences in World War II to high school and university students, and are centred on his family and music. He married Emilee N. Horn, an artist and teacher in the blackboard jungle of New York. They are proud of their sons, Dr. Joel W. Carter, an ER and palliative care physician with an interest in the therapeutic role of storytelling, and Andrew T. Carter, a choreographer and theatre director. Dr. Carter's interest in music originated with his family in Poland, and continued in Canada as an amateur on period intruments-the recorder and viola da gamba-and recently the clarinet. His passionate interest in Mozart has led to a study over a number of years and recently to an essay on the death of Leopold Mozart, published in the Mozartjahrbuch ("Mozart Year Book"), as well as to this book. |
