Editors Notes - In the wee hours of May 23, 1946, Fred Klenner was just a family doctor with an office uptown, about to gain his first renown.
He would deliver the world's first recorded set of identical black quadruplets, and the first set of quads ever to survive in the South.
With no incubator, Klenner improvised cotton gauze blankets and laid the newborns together for warmth.
The doctor meanwhile took it upon himself to name the girls, all of them Mary, followed by the names of the women in the Klenner family.
There was Ann, for the doctor's wife; Louise, his daughter; Alice, his aunt; and Catherine, his great-aunt.
