One of my earliest memories is of a horse laboriously pulling an Amish farmer’s wagon coming from the farmer’s market on Fleetwood Street up Blackhorse Hill Road. My son knows a man who has had COVID twice. What works is vaccinations.

Betsy taught 3rd grade in rural Lancaster County. Several of her students were Amish.

Betsy’s maternal side of the family are the King’s. King could be a Mennonite name.

When my son was little he looked like an Amish boy.

A Mennonite friend of Betsy was married. The only thing unusual, music entirely a cappella. It was nice.

“I just think the Plain community has to get involved in a public-health sense,” said Morton, founder of the Central Pennsylvania Clinic in Belleville, Mifflin County.

Morton, who first created the Clinic for Special Children in Strasburg, is renowned for his pioneering work on genetic diseases among Plain children.

“Just because you’re Plain doesn’t mean you’re exempt,” Morton said. “God helps those who help themselves.”
