minktail my husband was born in this hospital in 1946. his mother told me the lady in the bed next to her was upset because she was "in a room with a jew." hopefully things have changed in the city of brotherly love. -mink-

	minktail if you look quickly, does anyone see something like a face peeking out from the little window in the door? on the left, like a tilted head, the eye being a bit below the upper left window corner? of course, it's just the light or something -mink-
