Curtis & Loretta will perform their song, "Doctor Grace Danforth." Dr Danforth was one of the first female doctors in Texas. As a female doctor and a prominent woman suffragist, she faced overwhelming challenges. We heard about her, because she delivered Curtis' grandma back in 1893, and was a friend of the family. His grandma's middle name was Danforth!
