My wife had scoliosis surgery at Wilford Hall in 1969. Her surgeon was a Dr. Harrington, who invented the Harrington rod. Here’s another fun fact for you and your daughter about Wilford Hall.

Wilford Hall opened in 1957 after the Korean War, as the Air Force expanded its footprint to counter the Soviet Union. It served as a hub for training, research and innovation, and was the birthplace of more than a hundred thousand babies.Oct 6, 2023

100,000. Not a surprise. My daughter was born at the end of the first Gulf War, when all the obstetrics staff came back from Europe, where they’d been stationed, along with any medical personal with pulses, in anticipation of huge casualties.

If Anoreth had been born a week earlier, she’d have been delivered by the oral surgeon.
