Polio was believed spread through personal contact, so most people reduced travel to a minimum. In 1946 it was already bad in central KS when a neighbor was stricken. I remember Dad helping the neighborhood build a Lustron home (in town) for him and his family. Herb(GA)

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.

As 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.
