Historical NotesNancy the Nurse doll that belonged to Tina Vital of Johnstown, PA. "As a child when I played with Nancy the Nurse toys, my mother's friends would ask me if I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up ... No I want to be a doctor." I still remember the shocked look on my mother's friends' faces.
