Along w/info I was bequeathed, I've found very little info about polio patients that far back in history. We discussed EVERYthing about those days in their lives except...wheelchairs. She graduated from college in arm/leg braces. Can you refer me to other info? Mother's father (my Pop) was a pioneer chiropractor during that era; can you imagine his sadness & frustration in helping her? One last thing: My family's name (and hers) was BUSBY. Thank you, Sir. ~Donna BakerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880885474061973306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-61980172999472385542012-04-23T21:47:24.254-04:002012-04-23T21:47:24.254-04:00Karyn, you catch me on the road so I can't che...Karyn, you catch me on the road so I can't check, but I'm pretty certain that the image comes from the book.

That said, I haven't come across anything in Mrs Groves' writings (or writings <i>about</i> Mrs Groves) that suggests she shared the doctor's enthusiasm for eugenics. The only thing <i>Everyday Children</i> has to say is on their relationship is found in the Introduction: "To Dr. Helen MacMurchy who had known the author intimately and whose work brought her into sympathetic contact with Mrs. Groves, we are indebted for the biographical sketch".Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-53077722466979001402010-09-13T14:15:32.541-04:002010-09-13T14:15:32.541-04:00Although, given her association with MacMurchy, pe...Although, given her association with MacMurchy, perhaps there were reasons to rescind the honour....strasmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332469508592595136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-18838449911835265442010-09-13T14:14:15.490-04:002010-09-13T14:14:15.490-04:00Whatever her merits as a poet, Ms Groves is exactl...Whatever her merits as a poet, Ms Groves is exactly the sort of person after whom Toronto should be naming its schools.
