About the Author

Born and raised in Malesso', Jose M. Torres (1926-2015) graduated from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York. He later joined a National Institutes of Health research team that was studying the island’s high incidence of two neurological diseases: Parkinsonism-dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In 1995, he started hosting “Classical Concert,” a twice weekly, two-hour program of classical music on Guam’s public radio.
