Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Transition To Writer

During the time Judy was teaching at Sacred Heart, she was asked to give a seminar to a gathering of nursing students from nearby hospitals and colleges. This was to acquaint them with how she was able to cope with the problems of daily living. To help her in this talk, we took pictures and drew diagrams of the changes we made in Judy's living quarters.
This talk was a great success and eventually led to her being asked to write a column in a nursing magazine on the various things that nurses should know about tests that are made in hospital labs. These columns continued for fourteen months and it was through them that she was asked to write a complete textbook on the same subjects.
