Mr. Young your podcast brought back so many memories for me. My mother maiden name was Phipps. Then how my dad would stand by an old coal burning stove and make lemonade to help with our whooping cough. My older brother had polio at around age seven. Suffered most of his life that ended at age sixty but he was a great man. Thank you.
