Margaret has completely recovered from a hole in the heart operation earlier this summer... Her father had the same operation in 1956 - so they are the first known case of a hole in the heart being found in parent and child. Keystone Photo Shows: Margaret Saunders skipping helped by twins Heather (left) and Hazel Day - aged thirteen - at school today.
