The Dalles Weekly Reminder, June 7, 1984
     Loren Haechrel died Tuesday at a hospital in his hometown of Springfield, 
Minn.  Loren's brother, Bob Haechrel, of The Dalles, had donated bone marrow 
in a transplant operation.

     Bob said his brother, 24, had declined seriously in the last few days of 
his life and had known for some time that his leukemia was terminal.  The 
cancer had spread throughout his system, Bob said.

     The bone transplant took place on June 25, 1982 at the Fred Hutchinson 
Cancer Center at Swedish Hospital in Seattle.  A series of stories carried in 
The Chronicle at that time depicted the transplant process, which doctors felt 
at the time was the only way to stop the further spread of the leukemia.

     Funeral services will be held in Springfield on Saturday and Bob Haechrel 
was leaving today to fly back to Minnesota to attend the service.  He said 
that much local interest and concern had been expressed at the time the 
surgery was going on.  Those who wish could make memorials to the American 
Cancer Society in his brother's name, he said.
