 | | A life lived at full-throttle beats within every story she tells, while her sweet husband, Professor Sherman Minton, Jr., an internationally recognized herpetologist, medical zoologist, and professor, retired from the Indiana University School of Medicine, listens adoringly from the backseat, offering the occasional correction. |
 | | In her thirties, forties, and fifties, the joy that for Madge came close to equaling the thrill of flying her passion in her twenties was deep-sea diving, as Shermans assistant, in search of poisonous snakes. |
 | | Beautiful, fiery Madge Rutherford was a junior at Butler University in Indianapolis when she met graduate student Sherman Minton at a tea-party given by the Delta Gammas at Indiana University. |
