TULSA ROYALTY
Janet (Dahlstrom) Blackwood: At the age of 1, she was voted “Queen of the March of Dimes” in a 1955 contest publicized by The Tulsa Tribune.

Blackwood was born Nov. 13, 1953, in Tulsa to Myrna and Raynold Dahlstrom.
In the summer of 1954, at just 7 months old, she was stricken with acute paralytic polio. The disease left her a paraplegic.

The contest to find the "Queen of the March of Dimes" was publicized by The Tulsa Tribune.
Her photo was published alongside those of 11 other little girls with infantile paralysis. Readers could vote for their favorite by donating a dime per vote.
On Jan. 21, 1955, the day she was announced the winner of the contest, the Tribune described Janet as "the little blonde beauty with sparkling blue eyes."
She represented the March of Dimes during its fundraising telethons Jan. 28-29, 1961.
Blackwood attended Tulsa Public Schools and graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in art education.
She remained active throughout her life, playing wheelchair basketball, teaching art classes and building and carving unique baby cradles. Her artwork was displayed throughout the Mulino, Ore., area.
