FULL TEXT
As a small child, I often stood on the stairway in my home, looking up at the pictures of my mother. O.U. School of Medicine, class of1945. I counted the 69 sepia-toned faces many times, always coming back to my mother's in the oval composite photograph. My mother is one of only three women, and her countenance is serious and composed; the hair in a long, wavy cut typical of the period.
