It took Millie Bakers nana almost two years of saving on her maids salary, but she was finally able to buy that microscope in the window at the drugstore for a Christmas gift. When Hiram asked what that little girl was going to do with a microscope, Nana said, shes goin to college, morn your lunkhead son is gonna do!
Millie went on to be the first girl to win the county science fair, was valedictorian of the high school, and earned a doctorate in biochemistry. Hirams son Jesse is still running the drugstore.
