"You are just happy because one of your many children finally started a medical career like daddy." She laughs and then looks over at me
"Of course! One of my children is going to be a surgeon." I say smiling. "Your daddy is the chief of the hospital. People will think he had some way getting you in because people are like that."
"The board let me in; not him."

    H annelore Bauer’s sister, the thirteen year old Ingeborg “Inge” Bauer, was lugging around a rectangular wooden box with two attached straps, allowing her to carry the box on her back.

With not a single oncoming vehicle in sight, she crossed an empty countryside road in the Midwest, towards a ditch. Adelburger Walther Schäffer and FVL leaders Lucas Fields, Preston Connelly, and Gudruna Hurley were waiting for her there. Jumping into the ditch and making a perfect landing on her two feet, the four RGA members were rather glad that Inge was able to come along, in addition to the wooden box that she carried on her back.…
