My Mom's college photo

"One of the blessings of growing older is the discovery that
some things I once believed to be a flaw have turned out in the
long run to become my strengths."
~ unknown

This is a scanned photo of my Mom. The flaw that I mean above is because my Mom had breast cancer. She passed away in 1971 from breast cancer complications at the age of 44. The strength is that she gave me so much of herself that I treasure her ways now that I am an adult.

This photo is from her graduation from Syracuse University in 1949 and beginning her career at the New York State Health Department Laboratory.
