Yesterday's Memories

Tommy and Gordon Hickok, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Major Hickok, of Hinsdale, are two walking examples of the work done by the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis for those stricken with polio. The two boys were taken sick in July 1946, after vacation trips to North Dakota, and spent nearly two years at St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings. Tommy, a freshman and president of his class at Hinsdale high school, still uses crutches; his brother Gordon, a sixth grader, has practically recovered the use of his legs. In this picture above, they are examining a poster for this year's March of Dimes.
