This is Gabriel Michael Falk Ribeiro, age 10. He's about three feet tall and weighs 38 pounds. He's showing off his lucky tattoos before leaving for Johns Hopkins surgery on March 31. His rare dwarf condition caused leg deformity and the orthopedic doc there was gonna fix 'em.  That's Dr. Michael Ain, a dwarf himself who is a famous surgeon who specializes in this stuff. Classmates surrounded him like a returning conquering hero when Jon Falk, his grandfather, pushed him through the classroom door. He's a forth grader and gets all A's and 'O'utstandings, except for one B. What a great-looking kid!
