The year is 1939. Who are these women and where are they sitting?
Relatives of the gentleman shown below, Dr. James Bertolette Homan, M.D., age 30, a Villanova U and Hahnemann Medical graduate,
who completed his internship at Middletown Psychiatric Center in 1939, would like to know the identity of the nurses pictured at right,
and
exactly where on the MPC campus the photos were taken.
One retired MPC nurse replied, "The one girl on the right side
sitting in the back
looks like Kate Gibbons who was a
supervisor." If you think you recognize her, the others - or the location - e-mail Christine and Bob.
