ADVISORY, Nov. 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --
What: Larry King, renowned talk show host and founder of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, will preside over the opening bell. He will be joined at the podium by his wife, Shawn Southwick-King, who is also the chair of the Foundation; a New York-area patient who has benefited from his Foundation's services; and doctors from New York Hospital Queens, who generously volunteer their time and services to perform life-saving surgery at no charge to the patient.
