I am AMAZED! I am taking a class about policy and etics for my MSN and we were talking about eugenic sterilization. When I was about the ages of 6-12, my family were members of St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church in Stony Point. On Sundays they had mass outside at Letchworth and then we did some arts and crafts with the residents. We bonded very well with 3 specific residents, Catherine, Sadie and Rocco! They came to our home for dinner on many Saturdays and Sundays. My mom and dad asked to see their records one time and without HIPPAA then- were allowed to do so. ALL 3 and MANY THERE- were abandoned with no familt information or contact. I have only the FONDEST memories there. Thanks for these moving photos- I remember the enterences looking like this, but the grounds, back then were absolutely gorgeous. I hope you don't mind, but I have asked the rest of my calss- NURSES working on their MASTER DEGREES FROM ALL OVER TEXAS- to view your site!
