Hi, Amy here, the owner of the toe in this recording. Looking back, I’m so thankful I had to wear those ugly shoes for a couple years, and also thankful for the surgeries that really did help. The toe was made longer, and after it healed up, I surprised myself and my fellow 4th graders by suddenly, out of nowhere, becoming one of the fastest runners in my class! Out of the girls, that is. It was as if that one right toe was spring-loaded or something. It didn’t bend, but it... propelled me, as I ran. For a year or two, in P.E., I was... fast. Such a victory! Finally, something I could do well in P.E.!Here’s another funny memory from those days, describing how confused I was about “the f-word”, and how nobody would tell 8 year old me what it meant...And here’s a list/collection of more fun memories from the 1970’s --Amy (uploader)
