- Scope and Contents note
- An interview with Ann Moore at her home in Colorado. She discusses her childhood in Ohio and how her experiences in nurse camps in Germany and Morocco inspired her to join the Peace Corps. Recounts her experience in Togo and how impressed she was by the calm babies. The way the mothers carried their babies on their backs inspired her to do the same thing when she gave birth to her daughter, Mandela. Elaborates on how she developed the Snugli with her mother, Lucy Aukerman. Outlines how the Snugli business grew throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s, thanks to good press reviews and word of mouth advertising among mothers. Invention of the Snugli coincided with growing popularity of breast feeding and natural childbirth.
