He grew about 12 inches in a year, and it weakened him. He was in the hospital for awhile. When he came home, he drank milk shakes with malt and brewer's yeast in them, and my Mom would cook beef bones with marrow in them. I'm not sure how he ate it, but maybe on bread.

He got better, grew to 6'11", but never weighed move than 170. Never played basketball.
