Her closest friend and eventual husband, Samuel, took action when he learned that Gretchen might be held back in school because of her hearing problem. With total disregard for school policy, Samuel refused to leave Gretchen's side and attended every one of her classes. To the great chagrin of the teachers, he loudly repeated whatever was said.""
