Osborn is a patient in a private hospital, undergoing a final medical checkup before going to his winter home. He spent the summer at his Duck Island home on the St. Mary's River near Sault Ste. Marie Michigan (Chippewa County). The former governor underwent an eye operation in July and his physician, Dr. Alexander Blain, said he has regained partial vision after being blind for several years.

Osborn smilingly greeted old friends last night including some of his aides while he was a law-maker and then chief executive at Lansing. Friends of the former governor arranged the reception after he had said he would like to see them once again.
