THIS.. IS BOB’S WORLD.. GOOD MORNING I’M BOB WELCH..

MY GRANDMOTHER HAD A COUSIN IN EXTREMELY RURAL EASTERN MAINE… SHE HOBBLED AROUND ON A CANE AND LATER A WALKER… IT WASN’T JUST DUE TO OLD AGE… IT’S BECAUSE SHE CONTRACTED POLIO  AS A TEENAGER IN THE 1930S  

SHE LIVED WITH IT FOR THE REST OF HER LIVE… HOBBLING AROUND…

YOU REALLY DON’T READ OF TOO MANY PEOPLE CONTRACTING POLIO ANYMORE…  BECAUSE… THERE’S.. A VACCINE FOR IT.  

WELL.. I HADN’T READ OF TOO MANY PEOPLE GETTING POLIO FOR THAT REASON UNTIL… I START HEARING STORIES WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS OF PEOPLE CONTRACTING POLIO… SO.. HOW DID WE GET HERE?   MORE IN A MINUTE.
