I will try to post when they arrive and what kind of shape they are in. Hopefully they will be more fun additions.

Thanks Valerie! I think it's Rural where she gets in car wreck anddaughter's leg is broken, a big event. I think Senior is when Sue and buds get trapped or lost in hospital underground tunnels. These scrapes stayedwith me 40+ years.... liz -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valerie MaplesSent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 11:56 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: wish list and Sue Barton. I won three Sue Barton paperbacks on eBay last week - Rural, Senior, and Visiting Nurse and will let you know when I can get to them. Most are pricey and our library is no help, but I will buy the bargains when I can find them. These were a set of 3 under $10. Smiles. HTH!

Is it just the wishes? If so, I'd like to glance it. As the originator of the request for Sue Barton books, I know they're still there due to the difficulty in finding them. But larger public libraries still have them, and one here and one there would work. Also libraries that participate in interlibrary-loan programs could get them. I read them in upper grade school in the early 60s, and they were rather old then as they'd all already been rebound. Sue went through nursing school (starts with Sue Barton, Student Nurse), with her independent spirit and red hair, and did marry the handsome doc, BUT there was a lot between and around that. She was an independent thinker and single woman, and kept her independent spirit. Don't recall the titles, but she spent a year working at the Henry Street Settlement House in the tenements of NYC (introducing me to world of the less the fortunate and how my ancestors lived when theyarrived), a year as a visiting nurse (I think that was a title) whichintroduced me to what now is called Nursing Home Health Care, Of course hospitals and pediatrics. Then moved up to New England, I think started a clinic, that was Sue Barton Rural Nurse, and she traveled around in her sturdy station wagon, often with daughter in tow. I must have read that series at least 8 times. I didn't become a nurse, but I knew that womencould keep their jobs after marriage and kids (however, she did have atrusted housekeeper), grade school feminism although not planned that way! Of all the series I read at that time (all in the collection now) this is the only one I remember deeply with fondness. They clean wholesome books... Even the scrapes she gets into are clean and wholesome. Smile.
