Thank you so much for publishing the truth! It is getting more and more internet hits! I am going to do a video interview with his colleague Dr. Harvey Oury, who knows the whole story. He is 89 years old and would be so happy to help. I wanted to correct one thing that maybe was misunderstood as I have the same name as my father. Dr. Stewart R Halbauer never lived or practiced in Atlanta. He only practices and invented the Maryland Bridge technique in Cincinnati. I, Stewart R Halbauer II, did live in Atlanta some years ago and having the same name led to the confusion I am sure. Thank you so much for getting the word out about my father.<br \/>\n&#8211; Stewart Halbauer II<\/p>\n<p>(See Dr. Hall&#8217;s comments below.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-post-content\">\n<div class=\"post-left-column\">\n<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">We thank our advertisers who help fund this site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Square for mns blog - 2020 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4419877247826466\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6484616093\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-right-column\">\n<p>Chip,<br \/>\nThanks for the update.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;d like, you could get us a copy of the video you shoot and we could publish it to our YouTube account.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, I will post your comments.<br \/>\nPrompted by your email, I checked several AI engines with the question, &#8220;Who invented the Maryland Bridge?&#8221; ChatGPT and Gemini got it wrong, but Perplexity posted information about your father.
