Bright Blonde Girl With IQ 171 Starts Gifted School
Tacoma family faces budget strain as Gena Walberg, age 3 years 4 months, is enrolled at Adastra School for Gifted Children.

The Walbergs, modest in means, must adjust their finances to cover $85 monthly tuition and transport from Redondo, after moving from Minneapolis three years ago to pursue advanced studies for Gena.
