Friends and family gathered at Beth El Synagogue Tuesday to remember the life of Dr. Charles van der Horst. He died over the weekend while swimming in a race in New York. In the early 1980s, when the HIV/AIDS epidemic was filled with uncertainty and stigma, van der Horst, who was a medical professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, was there from the beginning. (CBS 17)
