I'll be 62 in a little less than a month and I remember being kept in
the house on summer afternoons. It seems there was some prohibition
against being outside in the heat of the day.
I also remember lining up outside the "clinic" in Union City to get my
Salk vaccine. My sister and I were wearing plaid dresses. I can still
vaguely recall the interior of the building and the people dressed in
white. I was very frightened so I guess it made a great impression. I
don't think I was more than 7 at the time.
I can remember that, but ask me where I laid my keys 5 minutes ago....
