This memoir is a summary of an oral interview conducted by Kyle W. King, O.D. with fellow Indiana-based optometrist Miriam Boyd, O.D. about her career in optometry and the career of her mother, Virlee Metzger, O.D. Dr. David Goss performed historical research to supplement Dr. Boyd's memoir. Taken together, the Metzger and Boyd's careers spanned 80 years (1933-2015) and represent an impressive professional legacy that endured changes both in society and in the scope and nature of optometric practice.
