But they were gallant souls,and nobody ever heard them utter a word of complaint. Then a relenting Providence rewarded their patient suffering; along came Stevan Dohanos and put them on the cover of the Post. They didn’t drive to Florida—let a train carry them, then just bought a carless trailer and moved into home. sweet home. Lizzie’s garden is sagely planned too. Small—weeds within arm’s reach. *Excerpt from 2/02/1952 Saturday Evening Post
