The practice is owned and operated by Dr. Cecil Knox.

(( When Iva Burford's father died in 1917, her mother found the task of raising four children on her own to be too much.
So Burford and two of her sisters were sent to the Miller Orphanage in Lynchburg.. it was a place of strict rules.. where the word "smartypants" would get your mouth washed out with soap, but it was also a time filled with friends, outings and opportunies Iva and her sisters might not have had at home.

But every time she passed the stately building, memories of her childhood there would come flooding back.

((AND I LOOKED AT IT ONE DAY AS I PASSED AND SAID TO MYSELF 'THERE STANDS, IN ALL ITS BEAUTY, GIVING LIFE AND OPPORTUNITY TO HUNDREDS OF YOUNG GIRLS WHO ENTER AND COME OUT AS YOUNG LADIES AND NO ONE SINGS ITS SONG'. AND THAT JUST CAME TO ME, AND I THOUGHT 'I'VE JUST GOT TO WRITE IT.'))
[RUNS= 19]

"Now the Song" was conceived in 1947.. but it took more than fifty years to be born.

[natsot 17:12:10]
((YOU NEED TO BUY IT FIRST..))
[RUNS= 02]

Copies of the book were flying off the shelves this weekend as Burford enjoyed that new-author perk of a booksigning in her hometown.
Burford had to help finance the printing of the first 500 copies herself, but its financial success is not important to her.. teaching people about the Miller Home and what it meant to so many young girls is.
