Our Mother grew up on a farm in
Bucyrus, Ohio.
When she graduated from high school, the Women’s Auxilliary at the local hospital offered her a full scholarship for nurses’ training at St. Vincent’s Hospital in
Toledo.
Three eventful things happened there; she became a Registered Nurse; she took up smoking; and she met our Father on a blind date.
Her first job as a nurse was at the
Toledo State Hospital, where she worked in the “drunk tank” dealing with the inebriated who had been arrested over night.
This gave her the invaluable skill she needed for dealing with her sons a number of years later.- Mike
