Re: Plagues and Parasites

I am very impressed with the publication received this month from my beloved alma mater. However, the article on polio by Lisa DuBois leaves out the impact of Rotary International, whose members have given $600 million and much manpower to eradicate polio from the earth.

I am aware that many of my Vanderbilt classmates are also Rotarians; many like me are past presidents of their respective clubs, and are very proud to be part of the elimination process.
