<p>I remember my mom telling us kids not to get overheated during
the summer back then. As I recall, that was something that was
thought to contribute to contracting polio. I was 6 in '53 and I
remember getting the first polio shots and a couple of years later
the first pills while in school (not in '53, a couple of years
later). Fortunately, I do not remember anyone I went to school
with contracting polio.</p>

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.</div>

was my father. 1 class short of dual engineering degrees in 4
years at NC State, civil and mechanical. He spent the war
developing sound tracking torpedoes for the Navy, spending
time at sea. As an engineer, not in uniform. He would have
been in his 30s. Sadly polio killed him four months before I
was born in 52. <br>

My dad was called up for WII, but didn’t serve. His boss made
an argument that he was un-replaceable at his job and they
needed him above everybody else. He was deferred from serving.<br>
