„Hogg living at Stable Cottage, he would have seen a picture of me with my pet pig Rosemary with eight piglets at the milk bar. A week later a Sun reporter came to my home and took pictures of me with the happy mother and babies. Yippee! Here at last was my only chance to become a 'page 3' girl. The Sun promised to publish, but never did. I have always wondered how much the GMC had paid it not to. There is even a Facebook Group named 'Rosemary Hogg' in honor of said sow!”Hogg living at Stable Cottage, he would have seen a picture of me with my pet pig Rosemary with eight piglets at the milk bar.

„President John Kennedy's sister, Rose Marie (Rosemary) was born with brain impairment that resulted in a troubled childhood, since mental impairment was not well accepted in high society. At age 23, she was subjected to a lobotomy which increased her disability. The President began a "war" on mental disease that included the development of a measles vaccine that was expected to eliminate measles encephalitis.”President John Kennedy's sister, Rose Marie (Rosemary) was born with brain impairment that resulted in a troubled childhood, since mental impairment was not well accepted in high society.
