As part of our yearlong Community Read of Sonia Purnell's A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II, faculty, students, staff and community members gathered in the Amelia V. Gallucci-Cirio Library for a discussion of the book and a presentation on prosthetics. The subject of the book, Virginia Hall, whom in 1942 the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission regarding: “She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her.” had a prosthetic leg. Prior to English Studies Professor Kisha Tracy leading the discussion, Clinical Manager Max Nigrosh MSOP, CP of Hanger Clinic discussed the history of, and demonstrated various types of prosthetics.
