Lucille Williams was eighty-one years old, and not in the greatest of health when she volunteered to help at the hospital in Spearfish Lake during the polio epidemic of 1955.

Penny Luce taught her the "Sister Kenny treatments" of hot packs and moving paralysed limbs to reduce residual paralysis. She worked tirelessly and pushed the kids harder than Garth Matson could.FK18

Gail Gleason remembered Lucille when talking to Ryan Clark in 2015.FK1
