June 1938 to June 1939- Metuchan, N.J.

2nd floor (apartment) of Mrs. Bennett's house, 32 Williams St. (Don decided we'd have to afford a car)

1st child, Josette, was born on Dec. 4, 1938 at Perth Amboy (N.J.) hospital- Dr. Urbansky, my doctor (G.P.) was the "company doctor" for American Smelting and Refining Co., where Don worked. He was very conscientous and seemed to really care about my welfar and best interests. He wouldn't let me nurse a premature baby whose mother had no milk. He said an older woman, also in the maternity ward, (and who had 4 children) should be the one to nurse the premature baby because she already had a "matronly figure".
