Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated January 6, 1961 reads, "Dr. Russell Haney, left; John Levey and actor Rock Hudson join with Judd Figatner and Janet Richey, both 4, in groundbreaking ceremonies for the new $250,000 Children's Speech and Hearing Clinic at 13130 Burbank Blvd., Van Nuys. The clinic, scheduled for completion this summer, will accommodate more than 250 children. The clinic has been operating in the Valley since 1953, training children with speech and hearing handicaps. Hudson said parents of children at the clinic should be 'commended for your unselfish contribution of time and money so that your own children and all the children at the clinic can be helped to take part in normal living.' Levey is clinic board president and Dr. Haney is clinic director."
