Elisa was born on the island of sunshine San Juan. Puerto Rico on September 14. 1945. She spent her school years taking drama lessons. Then one day she looked at the feet of a palm tree climber and discovered that an entity such as rocker bottom foot does exist. After her freshman year at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. and her second at the University of Puerto Rico, she packed her belongings and arrived at the City of Brotherly Love to learn all she could about — feet! And now. four years later. Elisa will not be able to treat the palm tree climber, for she will be busy stamping out foot and mouth disorders in Boston with a red-haired dentist named Ben. 23 ELISA MONTALVO
