A memory of my father, of the polio epidemic.

In discussing the pandemic, my dad mentioned something about polio in the 1950s, so I asked him about that.

He didn't say too much, but it turns out that he knew multiple kids who got it, including a decently close friend of his who afterwards always had to walk around with legbraces.

"He used to walk like a Nazi," my dad was like.
