Zena-1971
I took this shot of Zena posing with our black lab in 1971. Bessie brought her daughter to work at my mother's apartment several days a week. When I first met this little girl, she did not talk at all. Everyone thought she was "slow".
But I spent hours with her when I got back from school, talking to her and drawing her out, until she finally began talking. She was a beautiful but shy little girl, who just needed some encouragement.
My work with her was one of the things that inspired me to major in psychology when I went off to college later that year.
