And if you've never seen it before, here it is. Over 50 years at our local hospital caring for individuals, remembering house calls, and being paid with whatever the patients could give you, including animals, fruits, and grains, as well as their own hard work.

Wow, talk about connections to the town people.

 

I just love how everyone in the pic, but one guy who never smiles, is smiling! Its a warm fuzzy pic!
