Thelma Adele Patten Law

Good morning James - she was a very accomplished woman who made a difference in her time.

James Dray good morning again, James... considering how hard it was for women in general to enter the medical profession back then, Thelma's accomplishments as a black woman are even more amazing.

James,

You are so right.  Smiles are free,   Enjoy your weekend.  Bill Salvatore

Good morning James,

Make yourself an awesome day.

That is a nice story and I always enjoy learning more about someone that I have never heard of before.

Women have been healers for the longest time. Glad for her to punch through the ceiling.

Hi James, I live in Harris County but was not familiar with her! But what an achievement 

Hello James - when I read Harris County in your post, I immediately thought of Kathy Streib --- ActiveRain teaches lessons in many ways.  Even geography class is a part of the curriculum.  

She was certainly a trailblazer. I love this type of post from you. Points out the greatness of America.

Good morning James Dray , Thelma must've been a very successful doctor to get to that lofty position 👍

Your mention of the Odd Fellow Association took me back 50 years James. There was a Odd Fellows Hall in either Fargo or Moorhead that I used to go to for teen dances.

Your post reaffirms that possibilities abound to those who really are committed to doing something regardless of the circumstances.  This is another inspiring post from you!  A

Hey there James Dray I always love the stories you post about such fascinating lives
