Here's one response thanking several people who wrote comments.

This unnamed pilot, talked to the AOPA medical people (Jo Ann) this
morning, and they she recommended that there was no need to divulge
this condition. Specifically, she said that childhood murmurs are
common and most children grow out of them. If in two medical exams two
different AMEs never heard anything, then there is no reportable
murmur.

I dunno..... to be honest, though having my certificates revoked is a
highly unpleasant thought, what upsets me the most is the idea that in
an accident some day in the future the insurance company will go
looking for reasons not to pay, and find one... a non-relevant
technicality, but a reason nontheless.

Thanks again, people. I (I mean, my pilot friend, will try not to
worry about it now.

What would be cool would be if you could anonymously talk to someone in
Oklahoma, like the AOPA medical advice people, but more likely to know
what the FAA medical people are thinking right now.
