    My wife worked for four years as a nurse practitioner, courtesy of the U.S. Public Health Service, at the clinic in Mound Bayou described by Thomas Ward in ‘Out In The Rural’. She knew the clinic’s founder, who is apparently a central focus of the book. Nurse practitioners were still a new concept then and rural clinics were an excellent proving ground. We were married for twenty years before we determined how our common Wisconsin roots are connected to Mississippi during the Civil War.

      Sounds like you should pick this one up as well. Tom is a friend of mine and an excellent historian.

    At the risk of sounding like an old Bartles & James commercial, thank you for your support!
