Rav Elyashiv, ZTL, Anecdote

Via "Fred's" Facebook page we see this anecdote about Rav Elyashiv, ztl.
Now that Rabbi Elyashiv has died, I thought I would share my Rav Elyashiv anecdote. Close to two decades ago I attended a low key bris in a maternity recovery center. Rav Elyashiv was the sandek. He came there with one person, his ride, and the mohel used a syringe to do metzitza with his hand. No fanfare, no macha'ah.
He adds:  This was in 1996. That is to say, he was already 86 years old. Yes, yes, he was well known for decades. But no mob scene.
