[AT] OT Draft Exemption Exam

[Kenneth Gene Waugh]

Totally new tack, but Brad Loomis, I recall how terrible Polio was in the
first half of the 50s. My Dad was  PhD with the Animal Husbandry Dept at NC
State; we lived on a couple acres out on what is now Penny Road, was Rt 4
then. One summer, around 53-4, the Polio was so bad that us kids spent the
summer on Mother's childhood farm in Indiana---and trust me, my folks were
not alarmists---the Polio was simply that terrible.
