Ron Davies mention of his forebear who was the first woman doctor in Maryland reminds me of our own Grandma Keene. The story is that she was the first woman doctor in Connecticut. She raised all her children and then went off to Philadelphia to study medicine.

Sounds pretty respectable doesn't it? Unfortunately Keene is not a family name. Research indicates that there was a doctor who taught at the medical school and HIS name was Keene. No record of a marriage so far as I know...
