Mouse-Over Images to Zoom

Image share by Glippingdale

Foncie took this picture in August 1957. The white on white doesn’t show that my little girl Wanda has just had her broken arm reset and it’s in a cast and a sling.

She and her two younger brothers were playing in the woods next door to our home in North Vancouver when a leaning tree they were climbing up came down and she was hurt. They came to the door, boys with eyes as big as saucers, and Wanda with a bone sticking through the skin ate her elbow. She said ” I think it’s broke”. She was very brave about it and when a second doctor, a specialist, had to re-break and reset it I was especially proud of her.
