My contribution to birth cicacmstrnues. 1. When my mother went into labor, the radio was playing Goodnight, Irene by The Weavers. It was in the top ten on Your Hit Parade. People have teased me about this all my life.2. I was born at Women's Lying-In Hospital in Philadelphia. It's my understanding that this hospital is now defunct. Women don't lie-in any more because their insurance doesn't cover it.3. My mother was acquainted with another young woman who was also pregnant. That unfortunate lady gave birth to her son on the same day I was born, and in the same hospital, only she didn't make it to the delivery room. He was born in the elevator.4. The obstetrician mentioned that he had tickets to the Penn-Princeton game, which was to get underway at about noon. I obliged him by showing up at about 8:30 a.m.Yes, November 18th was a memorable day. But can you guess the year? I'm not telling.
