If that was the year the 'Barbie" doll came out, I sat on Santa's lap in Ben Franklin's and looked at him and said, "Hi Gary." I didn't have any health concerns. (I bought my cousin a 10 ¢ doll that she could hold in her hand and her mother bought her a 'Barbie'.} (Little girl preferred little doll.) (Aunt was not happy.} I had saved up all of $2, so I shopped at Rahall's store and Sayre Bros. . Thanks for the memories.
I enjoyed this story very much, probably because it brought back memories of when I got the flu at the age of ten. Dr. Collins (from Fayetteville) came to our house and treated me. I was off school for 3 weeks, and when I went back, I took a back-set and was out another week. I missed the whole month of January. I was the only one who came down with it. I remember that my brothers and sisters played rock and roll music and I hated it. My mother made them stop when I requested she do so. Like you, I also helped take care of my younger siblings when the need arose. I'm not sure how good I was at it, but they did survive, as did I.

Not sure about the year Barbie came out, but I remember that two years earlier (1957) I had gotten a "grown-up" doll that was a lot like Barbie.

Come to think of it, Dr. Collins came to our house to diagnose me.
