Ripley's Believe It or Not!

The Question:

COULD I SEE A PIC OF THE WOMAN THAT HAS NO LEGS?

Billy Parvin
Age 18
Rock River, Wyoming

The Answer:

Billy I am aware of at least three famous legless women....which one are you interested in?  Possibly Rosemarie Siggins who was on our TV show? See info below.

Rosemarie Siggins has amazed the medical world her world her whole life---first doctors were amazed at her basic good health despite a severe birth defect that left her with basically half a body. This did not stop Rosemarie, however, from pursuing life with gusto. At age 12, she was running the whole household, cooking and cleaning for her nearly-blind mother, her father and her retarded brother and was named Colorado’s Handicapped Achiever of the Year.

Long ago, Rosemarie put away her prosthesis (consisting of a lower trunk with two legs), because it was too cumbersome. Her new “legs” are actually a beat up skate board on which she whizzes around taking care of her household chores and errands.

Two years ago, Rosemarie met David Siggins in an auto parts store he managed, and they fell in love.  Now, Rosemarie has amazed everyone once again by giving birth to a bouncing baby boy. Luke was 18 1/2 inches long when he was born, just under a foot shorter than his 2 and 1/2 foot mom.
