Vietnam veteran Jim O’Connor has a stern look and authoritative voice while teaching math at his school. But at a local hospital in California, he’s known as the “baby whisperer.”
His students don’t see this side of him, being a TLC Volunteer at the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, where, for the past 20 years, he has spent several days during the week cuddling sick babies.
He has even given blood to babies and patients who need it. So far, he has donated more than 72 gallons of blood.
