Dr. Irvin Able from Louisville, Kentucky, 40 miles away, came to the house and operated on my feet before I was two weeks old. First he worked my toes in place and put my feet in plaster casts. In six months Mother took me to the hospital in Louisville. They said I still couldn't walk; didn't have a heel. So they cut the tendon in the back of heel and made a heel. Again I was back in the plaster cast. I was three years old before I could walk.</div> <div> Although slow to learn to walk, she was a coronet player in her high school marching band. Rare for any girl in the 1920's; an indication of her spirit repeated throughout her life. Self responsibility was primary.
