Entrepreneur Richard Jay Corman has made himself a force in the railroad industry, where in up-from-nothing fashion he has created a thriving, highly respected company. Called R.J. Corman Railroad Group, it's a construction and operating enterprise that takes in around $300 million a year. However, Corman has an incurable form of cancer: multiple myeloma, which attacks the plasma cells in bone marrow and destroys bones. With the aid of two bone marrow transplants, the determined ministrations of both Kathleen Martin, a gastroenterologist, and Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the strong will that allowed him to build a major business from scratch, Corman has survived. Dana-Farber has received millions for the R.J. Corman Multiple Myeloma Research Fund, most of the money contributed by Corman, some by friends of his. Meanwhile, a trust will take over ownership of the company. It will exist for a near-unimaginable 200 years and is likely to have Dana-Farber as its ultimate beneficiary.
