Nancy, your great aunt's story is heart wrenching, when you think of her struggles in life, some of them seemingly needless. It reminds us to encourage the talents of others, and to try to understand each other. Thank you.
What an interesting story! My great aunt was lobotomized at Broughton, horrible procedure to make her more compliant (she was not mentally ill, just depressed because as an artist she was not permitted any outlets). Good thing Elbert escaped. Thanks for sharing the story and photos.
