I remember kids in my class and a good friend's mom who had polio.

I remember Jonas Salk.

I remember lining up at the school playground to get that shot.

Dimes don't get it these days. But a dollar from a whole big bunch of people would. A whole big bunch of dollars to go toward whatever that organization (the one that was so important in the lives of so many of us) is working on now.

So TH, c'mon, smile and give 'em a buck for Boomer and I will pay you back if we ever meet.

Boomer (with the long memory)

You are missing the point all together!! You know it's not the dollar I'm talking about.

BTW, Over my 45 years in broadcasting, I have raised millions of dollars for charity. Of that amount, close to $250,000 went to the March of Dimes. Your comment about paying me back is an insult. Please don't shift the focus of my post.
