        Fascinating that he did not contract polio until much later. What an erect figure. Thank you for sharing this and the others!

        Yes, at age 39. I had a friend from Ireland who used braces from contracting polio as a young child. Terrible disease.

        Roosevelt looks so snooty in that photo! Makes you want to give him polio or something to make him more humble.
