Frankly, My Dear…

This is a photo made in 1888 of Helen Keller and her teacher Anne Sullivan. Helen was blind and deaf from a year and a half and her teacher taught her by putting her hand inside her own and spelling words. The first word she learned was doll because she loved her dolls. It is a truly amazing story and, of course, the movie that was made with Patty Duke as Helen was great.

Her childhood home is in Tuscumbia, AL, and I regret to say I haven’t been there…..yet.
