Great Regulars: The woman refused to go to the hospital,

remembers Patrick Lane, 67. Then only 21 years of age, Lane, who was the industrial first aid man at a remote mill town, protested, but the woman insisted her baby would be born in the camp with only Lane to assist.

"I was frightened. I boiled a lot of water and did a bunch of stupid things people did back then," says Lane.
