Alisha Cook says the next two years will be the most critical in the possibility Kara’s tumor will re- turn. The Cooks were chosen to be benefactors of “Godspell” after Ethel Dougherty, wife of Alisha’s co-worker, Tom Dougherty, noti- fied Ethel’s church. “I feel very special,” Alisha Cook said. “It’s really unbelieva- ble. You really, honestly don’t know how many sick children are out there until you actually have one. It is really nice to know people think about you.” Zachary was in a car accident with his mother on Memorial Day of this year. The boy suf- fered numerous brain injuries and underwent surgeries at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, costing over $750,000. He is currently a patient at Chil- dren’s Hospital in Philadelphia.

The December 5, 1958 edition of The Dallas Post features an ar- ticle about Paul Cilvek’s birth ti- tled, “Birth Considers Changing Name Of Station To Discourage Storks.” “Clyde Birth is not seriously considering changing the name of his service station,” the article reads. “Monday night was the second time within less than a year that his Esso station on Me- morial Highway has given aid and comfort to a heavily-laden stork. Both mothers were pa- tients of Dr. Irvin Jacobs of the Noxen Clinic and both finished an interrupted trip in the family car by Dallas Community Ambu- lance.” Clyde Birth’s Esso Station opened in 1956 with two service bays.

Harry Birth says his father, who served as president of the Dallas Kiwanis Club at one time, chose one day every year and do- nated all of his profits to the Dal- las Kiwanis-sponsored Key Club.
