Thanks, Pat. One of the other things I learned was that FDR founded the March of Dimes, which focused on finding a cure for polio and led to Jonas Salk’s discovery of the polio vaccine. FDR was blessed with the financial resources to take seven years to recover, but he certainly gave back, many-fold, to others who were stricken and who still fight this horrible disease.

As I was reading it, NPR in the background was telling about the efforts to vaccinate against polio in Pakistan in spite of violent opposition from the Taliban. I couldn’t oppose protecting children from polio, much as I agree with FDR’s statement that facing the worst thing that can happen sends you out on the other side with new strength.
