Memorial Hospital
"And that was 1952, when the hospital was opened. That's when jobs really became available. And then, if you got a job at the university hospital, twenty-five dollars a week, a hundred dollars a month. That was a long way from paying seven dollars a week."

"My grandmother didn't do very much farming. I had some uncles who lived in the area and for a while they did, but once Memorial Hospital opened they came to work at Memorial. My father, in addition to the job at the fraternity house, also worked at Memorial when it first opened. He worked on the psych ward"
