Donald Thornton was a ditchdigger in NJ who was committed to making a success of his daughter's lives. He and his wife did all they could to make the six girls hit the books and stay out of trouble. In addition to academics he turned the girls into a rhythm and blues band that played at the Apollo Theater. Of the girls, two became doctors, one a dentist, one a lawyer, one a nurse, and one a court stenographer. Truly a success story based on a father with a dream and a roadmap to a better life for his girls. A clean very presentable coyp in a Brodart mylar jacket.
