I did a tour this morning at the Heinz History Center for a class reunion - West View High School, Class of 1955. When you are used to giving tours to the middle school set, it is interesting to give a tour to a group of older adults, people who experienced much of what they were seeing on display. When we got to that part of the HHC that dealt with the development of the Salk polio vaccine at Pitt, I asked THEM to talk to ME about that period. It was amazing the stories I heard. Almost everyone of them knew someone who had polio as they were growing up.
It was a good tour!
