She wasn't a "famous" person, but I met "Susie" when I stopped at the visitors center at Warm Springs, Georgia. It is a small town, and a friend and colleague of mine had retired there several years earlier, but I had never been there before. So I asked the greeter at the center if by any chance she knew of my friend and where I could find him. She said "Howard, he is one of my best friends. He takes me and my husband to church on Sundays." I'm not going to let you call him, I want to and hear him when I tell him you are visiting me here. So she called, and eventually my friend came and we had a nice visit. But back to Susie. She is a survivor of polio, and came to Warm Springs when then President Franklin Roosevelt used the warm springs center to help with his polio rehabilitation. Susies was just a little girl then, but she became Roosevelt's friend and was photographed many times with the President.
