Pauline Cohen likes to joke that she
is older than the bricks at the Texas
cottage, right hospital for crippled
children.
In reality, Pauline can't claim fame
to being the first volunteer at the
hospital in the old building.
She started volunteering here forty five
years ago and watched as the Brits were
placed with the new building.
Oh, no, no.
Pauline has kept up with a lot of babies
and youngsters at the hospital, like one
year old Kendall Cox.
We're going out to ride.
Kendall is recovering from major surgery
and faces another soon to correct
problems with her legs.
Oh, boy, it's
everything.
Everything.
When you know
that the prognosis
on a patient like that is
good, this doesn't hurt,
does it?
Pauline feels it's important to help the
hospital, which provides free medical
care to children who have orthopedic
and neurological problems.
That's why every year Pauline throws a
party on her birthday at the hospital
for the kids.
What else would you expect of such a
special volunteer who has shared
so much of herself for so long?
That's not an accomplishment.
It's a blessing of God.
