Thought you would enjoy a visit I made to a hospital in Dallas in November, before the art exhibit opening at Thornwood Galleries. I spent a year there when I was a 9-year old kid. ==================================================== In the 1946 Scottish Rite Hospital For Crippled Children of my memories, being in the outdoors was a dream. But the reality of a shotgun-shattered leg foretold crutches, an external brace and a dull indoor life. The caregivers and surgeons at the hospital changed my life, not only in the physical sense, but in the way I view the world. Since I left that old Dallas hospital, I have been able to run, hike, fish, hunt and make a living as an outdoorsman. Seeing old black and white photographs of the kids brought back memories, and an appreciation for the colorful, child-friendly hospital of today. Best wishes from a Scottish Rite alumni, Sam Caldwell
