Jim: In Our Own Words

Jim was completely paralyzed from the neck down at age two. The hospital was "overwhelmed" with polio patients. His parents were told to take him home, live in quarantine and do the best they could. His little brother (an infant) was quarantined on the next floor. The entire neighborhood knew that polio was in that house and once he recovered, no one would befriend the "cripple".
