[Magdalen] Jonas Salk happy birthday

[Jay Weigel]

Polio shot (series of 3) at the doctor's office; I broke out with a rash on
my hands and feet after the second one. Sabin on Sunday, which I remember
as a tiny cup of something, but it might have been a sugar cube in a tiny
cup, with my then-boyfriend at the UW-Madison fieldhouse.
