| While in Savannah we decided to visit the Juliette Gordon Low birthplace and museum. Juliette preferred to be called Daisy. Her parents owned 70 slaves and she was born into wealth. When she got married a piece of rice got lodged in her ear canal causing pain. She went to a doctor who said there was nothing that could be done so she ended up deaf in one ear at an early age. Her marriage did not last long. She started Girl Scouts after meeting Richard Baden Powell in London. She sounds like a very interesting lady. In 2016 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom thanks to the efforts of Michelle Obama (a former girl scout). |
