It started in his legs, I believe, and went into his hips and back. In adulthood, he was quite crippled but walked with a cane. He was a gifted draftsman.

It's painful to read, but an important aspect of a family's life in that era. Living within one's means is something people should do today. <br /><br />Did Stanley have polio? The Wikipedia piece on Al Sanders doesn't list his wife & son. But the facts were from Alberta, Canada election results data.
