| Introduction | I was born in San Bernardino, California, in August of 1958. My mother's doctor was on vacation when she went into labor. Her doctor had failed to anticipate he wouldn't be present at this time, so had also failed to tell anyone that my Mom had narrow hips, and would be unable to give birth naturally. 58 hours later, with baby's head firmly wedged in the birth canal of which he could not pass, with both mother and son in serious distress, and in real danger of permanent injury or death, they finally reached Mom's doctor and he spoke the single magic word that would save the situation, "Cesarean". Despite my difficult start--and having my head shaped like a football for several months--I survived and flourished. I was the first son of Gilbert Eugene and Glenda Jean Barnett, in a family that would include three additional boys over the following five years. |
