Does the wish list have books removed that made it into the collection? 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 they
arrived), a year as a visiting nurse (I think that was a title) which
introduced 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 women
could keep their jobs after marriage and kids (however, she did have a
trusted 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.
Liz, paying a tribute to Ms. Boyleston, the author (I'd love to know about
HER)

Does anyone want the wish list sent to you as an attachment? Since I forward
new requests to the volunteer list I wouldn't think it would be necessary
but I'm happy to do it if anyone wants it. you might want to look at some
of the old requests that are still on it.
