September Treasure of the Month During the month of September, the Rosenberg Library will exhibit a collection of very special vintage paper dolls. The dolls depict the Badgett Quadrapulets, a set of four girls
born in Galveston in 1939. The quads—named Jeraldine, Joyce, Joan, and Jeanette— were dubbed “the miracles of Treasure Isle” by the press and became media darlings during
the 1940s.
