1983: Gaither quints make history as Indiana’s first set of surviving quintuplets

INDIANAPOLIS — Just 4 hours after his second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth children were born, Sidney Gaither spoke in front of Indianapolis television cameras on Aug. 3, 1983.

The 33-year-old was the proud father of Indiana’s first set of quintuplets. The Gaither quints, Ashlee, Joshua, Renee, Rhealyn and Brandon, were born at 7 a.m. at Indiana University Hospital.

“It went so quick,” Gaither said. “I thought it was going to take longer. I think in about 60 seconds there were five babies born.”

Their mother, 21-year-old Suzanne Gaither, delivered the three girls and two boys via Cesarean section, a feat that left their father relieved.

“Relief knowing she did as well as she did. She surpassed all the expectations of the doctors and the people in the hospital, certainly mine.”

"A Place of Her Own"

The other day Suzanne sent me this poem about décor.  She called it “Finishing Touches.”  I loved it so much, I asked her if I could share it with you.  After all, the most beautiful décor of all is light shining on the special place where your heart feels at home.

The GUIDE TO STYLE IN LIVING tells how
to arrange with organized random
the globed scented candles, books, vases,
how to find palette (no more than three

patterns), how to fill wall space.
“There is a balance to this room,”
it says, the fresh coat of indigo paint
drying behind a fire engine red armoire.

I sling it down on the body of my one
random border collie who looks at me
like I’ve lost it.  I glance around this room
centered around the rich texture of woods
winter bare.  Still I admire how the charcoal,
taupe roughness juxtaposes my worn
jean jacket strewn haphazardly across
the pine trunk at the foot of my four poster bed.

This rocker I received from my husband
when our oldest was born now recovered
for the third time, rests rightfully in the corner.
