Jimmie I went to Disney World Summer of 2006

I was a member of the SMITH family thta worked at the PINES. A total of 5 of us worked there, including my MoM for a while. Anyone ever hear what became of Hank? By the way.., THANK YOU to the Schwieb & Ehrlich Families!!! I"ll never forget the Good Old Day's!!!

@Claudia-I think you're right. I remember seeing some of those old pattern books in Windsor Button Shop when I was very young. You wonder what was going on with the patients when these were put up; what their feelings were....now all that's left are "remnants" (not pun intended!) of that sad time.

Looks to me to be a page from a knitting publication. I have several old knitting patterns that were given to me and this resembles pages from them. Usually they show the completed articles on models all on one page and direct you to the page in the booklet with the knitting instructions.. This may have been a specific yarn makers item. Perhaps they used yarn in the facility as arts and crafts. This could have been wrapped in the skein of that yarn.

I think this is such a powerfull picture. It almost makes you see a patient who wants nothing more than to leave the hospital calling out for love.

I've noticed a couple other of these on this site, well I'm not sure how much YOU know about it but as far as I know, those are not EXACTLY for adults, they are for small children who are too big for smaller cribs, and who are in extremely dependent states. ie: When I was real young i got into an accident which is too long of a story to get into right now, I had to get Brain Surgery done and I ended up in one of these for a few days...

After some more detective work, I have found a few more places mentioning, presumably, our good doctor.
Most interesting is a paper that he co-authored in 1933, Nitrous Oxid for Major Oral Surgery: http://www.anesthesia-...8a-beb2-249df1e4311b
It's a shame that it takes $15 or a subscription to 'Anesthesia and Analgesia' to read it, and perhaps find out more about him.

There is a small blurp about him staying at the Ocean Hotel in 1909 in the New York Times: http://query.nytimes.c...56C2A9619C946897D6CF

It also seems that he invented, or otherwise played a significant role in devicing, a type of dental tool called a Walter F. Barry root elevator.

Given his death in 1951, though not natural, and him being a doctor in 1909, I would guess that he would have been born around the 1880s give or take a decade or two.


Wow, at this point I start to question why I went out of my way to find out about this man. Guess I just found it interesting, and if any one of you guys do to, then all the better.

Oh cool, I tried googling his name, though it was a lackluster attempt and I didn't find anything. Thanks Just another building!

Reminds me of the Quote

"Don't cry little bird, you'll get your wings"

Time is coming soon, just to pass by you, pass by you.

I USE TO LIVE REAL CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL BEFORE IT CLOSED. IT WAS VERY INTERSETING GOING OUT AND PLAYING IN THE WOODS (BEFORE THE CURRENT INDUSTRIAL PARK) LOTS OF OLD ROADS, MILITARY BARRACKS FOUNDATIONS. A FEW BUILDINGS , OLD FENCES GUARD TOWERS. LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THAT. LOTS OF MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES WITH FREINDS, AND YES WE GOT INTO A LITTLE TROUBLE OUT THERE TOO. LOL. ALOT HAS CHANGED AND ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE IVE BEEN THERE. I REMEMBER FINDING A SMALL CEMENTARY OUT THERE ALSO A MONUMENT BUILT BY POWS OF WW2 IT WAS COOL, FOUND OLD BOTTLES STUFF LIKE THAT BUT WE WERE YOUNG AND JUST ENJOYED THE OPEN SPACES AND THE COUNTLESS ADVENTURES WE HAD . SOME DAY I SHOULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT AND GIVE IT OUT TO MY BUDDIES. THANKS FOR THE PICS .
