In addition to her many other accomplishments, Dr. Barbara Rockett was a fine equestrian.
As a surgical resident 60 years ago, Dr. Barbara Rockett was 8½ months pregnant, moonlighting and making house calls for $10 a visit, when she arrived at a Newton house and climbed three flights of stairs to visit a man in distress.
