A Pictorial Tribute to my Family

My Uncle Jim took this photo on Tuesday June13, 1950.  My Dad has just taken me and my Mom home from the hospital.  My parents, like every parent of that era were scared to death of Polio.  Every summer there would be tens of thousands of cases effecting mostly small children.  Children with this disease often faced the prospect of living in an iron lung.  On this day, though, they were happier than hell.  They had been trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years.
