I've mentioned this before...I just old enough to have met someone who had polio

There are polio survivors all around, but they are aging out. Mitch McConnell is one. A long time friend of mine, usually referred to as my other mother, was also a polio survivor. Cancer got her about 3 years ago now, in her mid 80s.

But pretty much anyone in their 80s and up have lived through the time when polio was common.
