Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated January 10, 1961 reads "Nurse Kay Ziller tests Zimmerman, right, and Kiessig." The article partially reads "An airplane took off in Burbank this morning, bound for Las Vegas on a flight that proves that nothing is ever as impossible as it sounds." A plea was made for people with B negative blood to help 3-year-old burn victim Julia Howe. Valley residents Earl Zimmerman and Otto Kiessig, former burn victims, answered the call.; See images #00129301 through #00129302 for all photos in this series.
