"What Ever Happened to Polio"

Thank you!!
Dear Kent D. Converse, You have been sent a message from Ray Taylor ============== As the founder of PSA and current Secretary I want to thank you for the excellent piece you have published. Our Chair, Ann Lee Hussey attended the opening ceremony on the 11th and I hope you met her...our Rotary Action Group was the early advocate to preserve the Smithsonian Exhibit in its current for, and we continue to advocate for establishing a permanent, working relationship with Warm Springs to assure the history of polio is preserved and that the heritage of action by Rotary is told by the Rotarians who participated...obviously, we have made a start...our quest is to find the way to work with Rotarians in 6900 and all over the world to see that this history and heritage is preserved and publicized...thank you for your efforts and congratulations on a job well done...

Polio
Interesting to read your article about Rotary helping with polio vaccines. Having grown up in the polio scare times, and knowing people who had the disease, it upsets me a lot when the young mothers come in to register their kids for school and tell me that they don't believe in immunizations. Of course, they are counting on the fact that almost everyone else will be vaccinated, so their kid will not be exposed. I worked in the Central Registry office of the school district thirteen years and still go back as a senior volunteer at busy times of the year (like now for fall registration and then kindergarten registration in the spring). It's hard to believe that summer is almost over - it went too fast! Camilla
