A former manager of Cooper Foundation
Theatres recently made headlines In the
Oklahoma City Times, an afternoon paper.
It appeared in the issue of August 18:
thus: "The 11th child of Mr. and Mrs. Dee
Puller. 600 NW 12th. was a bonus baby.
The little girl was born for free—under a
St. Anthony rule that entitles mothers who
have seven babies to deliver the rest of
their childien without charge." Fuller,
manager of the City Auditorium for the
past several years, no doubt welcomed the
financial boost, but the rest of the family
was busy welcoming the new infant who
may be named Amy. Celebrating at home
were seven sisters, and three brothers.
