But it did more, it made Rochester and the rest of Upstate New York more blood-conscious. This helped set a pattern that was followed by the American Red Cross in the vital early years of World War II to establish blood banks in most of our country’s cities. After the war, in 1948, the Legion was absorbed into the Red Cross and Rochester was chosen for the pilot program because of what Al Sigl and his donors had done.''
