I had a precious baby girl, my husband was in the Navy, and I was living with my mother. The second World War was going to be over soon, and I thought life was as good as it could get.” - Darlene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/2c1a8b92-4994-4e60-9d93-9f7f772c2235/1949+Bert+HS+student+conductor+cropped+and+high+res.jpg About the Book: Defying Disability Bert Before Polio “Life was good. These were good years. My senior year, I earned good grades - all A’s except for typing. I played several musical instruments; my favorite was the trombone. The summer of 1949, I worked for a local farmer. I would trot most places I went. I really enjoyed it.” - Bert https://www.storiesbydinah.com/newhome daily 1.0 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/60b17173-3f8a-4aed-9bee-7ae6da9727ca/20211211_095419.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/08f8b843-94e0-42fc-876a-f123a234413b/Darlene1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/74c5acb2-d991-4c69-9bcc-72e277eae743/Bert1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/bf4ebcb5-acae-4862-9901-6a5ebc382455/Bert%26Darlene1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/926cab37-9878-42a7-8ff1-459f454130fa/Cherry+Family1.jpg Home https://www.storiesbydinah.com/audiobook daily 0.75 2024-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612ac31f771f533aa35a5188/b1aab726-aadd-4214-9a94-60441c6094d6/Defying+Disability+-+Audio+Icon+%281%29.jpg Defying Disability: The Audiobook Dinah Jordan, May 2021
