<< Kathy Dettwyler, among the first to get polio vaccine in the late 1950s >>

Although there is certainly NOTHING trivial about polio, I was a "polio
pioneer" in 1953...testing the new vaccine.  All the kids in my school here in
Wheaton got three "shots" (and ice cream if we were good).  My mother found
out later I got the placebo.
