Special thanks to Alma and Herbert Wallace, Cleveland, Ohio, for remembering us in their will. A survivor of polio, Alma retired after 20 yrs of running a travel business. She lived quietly with her husband of 74 years who preceded her in death by just a few months. Their bequest of over $68,000 will ensure the continuation of the work of Post-Polio Health International.
