Today, she is an 11-year-old who makes A’s and B’s at school, plays the piano and French horn and whizzes through her neighborhood on skates. The sixth-grader is said to have no mem ory at all of the 58-hour ordeal. “More than anything, I want her to have a nor mal childhood,” said Cissy Porter, who was 18 when her daughter plunged down the 22-foot hole. “We want everyone to know that she’s fine, that she’s a healthy, active, loving girl.

Not everyone understands the fuss. “This was just a one-child disaster,” said for mer Midland Fire Chief James Roberts. “As we speak, somewhere in the United States an 18- month-old baby is in trouble, and the fire de partment is on the scene trying to save her life.” Ten years ago, Chip and Cissy McClirjn jthe cl poor teen-agers struggling to makeenaftf clas during the depths of the oil bust.
