Seated in a wheelchair at Good Samaritan Hospital on March 11, 1969, is Joseph E. Faker, about 34 years old. He was undergoing rehabilitation in Puyallup which apparently involved his right leg. The limb is encased in a brace and it is difficult to tell whether part of it is artificial. He has the leg propped against the edge of his bed. Photograph ordered by Levinson Freidman, Seattle for case vs. United Yugoslav Line. Mr. Faker would eventually accept an out-of-court settlement in February of 1970 from United Yugoslav Line and the Argyll Shipping Co., Ltd., of Great Britain.
