A Bahá'í Perspective: Bobbie Pollard

A 92 year old Bahaacute;'iacute; from Lima, OH, now living in Norwich CT, who in the 40's lost her daughter, Carrie, in a car accident when her daughter was only 11 years old. Her daughter, Carrie, had become a Bahaacute;'iacute; by hearing about it from their neighbor. Before Carrie died, Bobbie happened to pick up one of Carrie's Bahaacute;'iacute; books and got interested in the Bahaacute;'iacute; Faith too. In the interview, Bobbie refers to a well known Bahaacute;'iacute; historical figure named Dorothy Baker, and Baker's husband Frank. They lived in the same Bahaacute;'iacute; community in Lima. If any one is interested in learning more about Dorothy Baker, I recommend the book "From Copper to Gold: The Life of Dorothy Baker" by Dorothy Freeman. You'll hear background voices periodically in the interview. Bobbie always leaves her apartment door open, so once in a while hallway chatter comes through. I started the interview by asking Bobbie where she grew up, and what was it like growing up there.
