On a walking trip through northern Pennsylvania one spring, Howard Kelly stopped by a small farm house for a drink of water. A little girl answered his knock and instead of water brought him a glass of fresh milk. After a short friendly visit, he went on his way. Some years later, that same girl came to him for an operation. Just before she left for home, her bill was brought into the room and across the top she read these words:
“Paid in full with one glass of milk”
- Dr. Howard Kelly
Howard Kelly (1858-1943) was one of the four founders of Johns Hopkins, the first medical
research university in the US.
Well, quilters, I hope you don’t need an operation, and if you do, me performing it for you would certainly NOT be a favor! (I’ve heard it’s not much like piecing a quilt!) If you come to my house, however, I will definitely offer you a glass of milk (and if you drop in at just the right time, a cookie to go with it!) But since I don’t have room for all of you in my living room, I’ll offer you something a bit more practical. Not free milk or a free surgery, but free shipping!
