Martin's Must Reads: 'Last Dance on the Starlight Pier'
“I had already been a lot of things in my young life - vaudeville performer, dance instructor, waitress, dishwasher, pants presser, babysitter. And other things I won’t mention.

By some miracle, I had won a scholarship to study at St. Mary’s Hospital of Nursing located in Galveston.”
