My mother was born Mildred Elaine Gilroy on April 16th, 1942 in Leamington Nova Scotia, a small farming community just outside of Springhill. She has three older sisters, Kay, Nina and Alva, and a younger brother Russ who passed away in 2003. Her mother was Lottie Wright Gilroy, who passed away 10 years ago at the age of 95. Mom's father Ken died 60 years ago from polio, when Mom was 10, just a few months before the vaccine was discovered.
