“Essentially what we did,”
Dr. Black explains, "was to ex-

Dr. Pfundt consulted with Dr. whole little girl to the carefree
world of children. The arm Is
still rather scarred, inevitably.
But later on by high-speed
planing and tattooing, the arm
will be normal in appearance
—and by the time she is in high
school Lori will have difficulty
remembering which arm ex-
hibited this perverse quirk of
nature.”
___ Mrs. Nelson was selected as
then the Nebraska March of Dimes
Mother for 1963. She and her
husband have forgotten their
fears about persuading the::
daughter to go to Kindergarten.
They confide that next sum-
mer. as a reward for her pluck.

r her^arty.^^
the remarkably pretty child
had been the butt of taunts and
giggles from these same chll-
ren. Lori was born with a rare
birthmark—a thick, unsightly
covering of hair extending from
her right shoulder to mid-fore-
arm, instead of finding play-
mate* among the other boys
and girls, all she ever encoun-
tered were finger-pointer* and
nazne-caller*.
Lori found these gibes, when
scarcely out of infancy a»d the
crib, more than any sensitive
child could endure. So did her
parents. Marlene and Chester
Nelson, an attractive farming
couple, who for almost three
yean searched unsuccessfully
for a medical answer to the
problem.
Brother Also Heartsick
Also heartsick was David, 6,
Lori’s brother, who more than
one* came home with a black
eye because he fought all the
heartless kids in town who
poked fun at his “hairy” sister.
“Chester and I were almost
out of Our minds with this ter-
rible affliction,” the mother ex-
plained. “Lori, a frightened and
confused little girL withdrew
into a shell. The present pic-
ture was painful enough, but
my husband and I looked with
dread into the future when our
pretty child, like any young
woman, would want to go to
daaoas and have dates and fun
and, in time, a husband and
'•Sio ‘one gave us any reason
lor hope. Then I read some-
place that the March of Dimes
VWB- planning a birth defects
center in Omaha. We were watt-
ing at the door when it opened
a year and a half ago.”

March of Dimes contributions
from chapters throughout Ne-
braska. is at Children’s Memo
