Ridge Runner: Family Visits Clubbed Hospital Stay
Dick Howe writes about a family hospital visit where Billy undergoes surgery and stays five days. The piece highlights familiar staff in green and white uniforms, the supportive atmosphere, and a mix of patients from a girl with arm surgery to a baby getting shots. The writer notes the hospital remains a community, homey place amid a big business image and shares Billy's praise for care from Mrs Sipes and Kathy Wyman. He also reflects on the challenge of bringing home a college-sophomore amount of belongings, like a pickup truck, when Billy returns home.
