Debbie Sinclair: The story of my birth

The author of an all-time favorite CM Story, the touching account of early childhood in Adair County, MEMORIES of STREEVAL FIELD: The day Momma didn't throw Kenny from the plane, and who may have been the first to reveal the entire cost of her father's birth, 25 cents for the midwife - a medical value issue still debated in Adair County, writes today of her own more recent birth odyssey, which included an expensive - by father A.L.Sinclair's cost delivery - and a ride home two weeks later in ambulance driven by Mr. Dallas Stotts, himself.

By Debbie Sinclair

I had read all the information of where folks were born so after a little research (Thanks, Mom) found out that I was born in the early hours of a Sunday morning - like right after midnight - at Dr. (M.C. - Millard Cleo) Loy's office.

Then we went to my beloved late grandparents', Sammy and Nancy Franklin's to spend the next two weeks where I spent most of my time in Granny's arms.



After that, Mr. Dallas Stotts brought the car from the funeral home and took Mom and me to Christine-on-206.

Dr. Loy charged my dad 75 bucks - which was the best money he's ever spent (according to me).

Just wanted to add my 2 cents to the other folks and as always, thanks for the cm. --Debbie Sinclair
