My Mother stayed with these people when they lived here. Edna Merrell Berry Lawson, she was only about 16 and she thought the world of them. I would love to have a copy of the DVD for her, she is now 83 years old and still has a very stong memory of them. She says that she learned so much about nutrition and raising children from them. She has had and raised 12 children of her own. She will still say at times, this is what Dr. Adler said or done.
Wow. This is incredible. Dr Blau and Dr Adler were our family doctors in Chicago from the early 60's until they died. We loved Dr Blau...she was our friend and took such good care of us growing up. She was and is one of my heroes and mentors> I will always remember her smile!
This is so great. My past has come full circle. Drs. Adler/Blau were our family Dr. from 1947 - their death. 2 generations had the privilege of these 2 great icons. They were way ahead of their time. They were family. Sorry,Can't remember their sons name, but this is a fantastic thing they did as a tribute to such wonderful people.
If this reaches their sons, I would appreciate an email from them
oh wow, to the left of the population sign..my aunt lives there to this day lol..i use to live behind Giovanni's ....that mountain creek looks like old Indian creek...or amous cut. I live in Rowan co now. Got lots of Family up there though.
Hard to believe Frenchburg use to have a hospital. I grew up there we use to play in those old buildings when we were kids. I think the are apartments or something now probably need to be condemned. They looked like they were falling down back then. Nice video though I would like to see more.
I found this video of my hometown a while back and thought it was very cool. Recently, while researching my family history, I found my great grandfather's death certificate which was signed by Dr Adler. I wish there were a way to save this video to keep with my research.
Very good. Are you a doctor as well? Whatever you do in life I hope you've learned well from your father. I have deep respect for the rural doctor- even with the proliferation of four-lanes and fast-food in Appalachia. I went to North Central Georgia last week and thought, "We're losing our mountain solitude". Certainly I wouldn't rule out a Dr. Adler in that neck of the woods back in the Forties. We need his kind today- badly!
My parents were given a complete 16mm sound film copy of the original film. Eventually (because of the eastern Ky. connection) I donated it to the University of Kentucky's special collections (Appalachian collection) library, but made sure they provided me with a VHS videocassette dub of the whole thing. A couple years back I digitized that to DVD copies for my own use (and my brothers'), and this clip is one I excerpted from the digital video copy I have.
How very interesting. My mother's family (Mack) was all born & raised in Frenchburg. I still have many relatives living there--I will ask my aunts if they remember Dr. Adler. My brother & I were also born in Frenchburg at the hospital--but by 1951, Dr. Graves was delivering most of the babies.
Does any one know any Hasty from FrenchBurg ?
