When Sunny was 18, she went to Cornell on a scholarship. It was then that Dr. Montgomery told her this story of her birth. The Blair family never accepted this story, at least they had not by the time of Patrica's book in 1978, calling it "hogwash" according to her report.

They reportedly had several hard years before he was nominated as vice-president of Omaha National Bank. | Ethel married by 1917 and the family apparently traveled to various places as Bill was a sort-of traveling bond salesman.
