 Pioneering Women
Leontine Turpeau Current Kelly was only 8 years old when she answered the door of her father’s parsonage in Cincinnati and saw a woman “all dressed in black, cotton stockings and all.” Before she could speak, the woman asked, “Young lady, what do you plan to be? You must plan to be somebody.”
“I went to the kitchen and told Mother there was somebody at our door,” Kelly recalls. “I didn’t know who it was, but I knew it was somebody special.” | | | |
