- Yes!

- I also remember being careful to observe the quarantine of the little
- boy across the street whose mother had polio. Since he couldn't go to
- school and since nobody could come to his house, even into his yard, I
- kept him informed of goings-on by standing on one side of the 4" curb at
- the edge of his yard while he stood on the other side of it. When I told
- my mother that story later, she almost fainted.
