Mildred Leightner Dillon

Short Name: Mildred Leightner Dillon
Full Name: Dillon, Mildred Leightner, 1912-
Birth Year: 1912

Mildred Leightner Dillon was the wife of William S. Dillon. Bill and his wife were on a ship crossing the Atlantic when the ships movement caused the grand piano Mildred was playing to collapse on her, pinning her. He said that while she was pinned, and they were working to free her, she wrote the song "Safe Am I."
