 Thelma Meltsner
Thelma was Leonard
Meltsner's wife, and was in a relationship with Leonard's former
friend and mentor Dalton Kearn before
Leonard entered the scene. She eventually married Leonard and became
pregnant with their first child, Eugene.
However, she walked away briefly from the marriage when Leonard raised
his doubts about parenthood and implied the possibility of an abortion;
she went to a hospital in Chicago, where she met
Joanne Allen, who persuaded her to
return to Leonard--her son needed his father, Joanne reasoned, and so
did Thelma. Leonard eventually learned to care for Eugene as his son,
but on an archaeological dig that Leonard and Thelma took without a
seven-year-old Eugene, the Meltsner parents were captured and imprisoned
for twenty years by a vindictive and vengeful Dalton, who treated them
horribly. Thelma died in captivity in Africa on an archeological dig
after having given birth to a second son,
Everett; she was buried outside of the dig site where she and
Leonard had been imprisoned.
