There is a woman in TN who has lived 57 years in an iron lung because she had polio when she was 3. She will be 60 very soon and I think it would be neat if you all would find it in your hearts to send her a birthday card. Experts believe that there are fewer than 30 people who still use iron lungs and that she is the oldest person they think who still does. Anyhow here is a link to the article and her address to send her a card is on the article page
Tennessean touches lives beyond her iron lung

I remember the iron lung. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in there for 57 years. I like your idea about sending BD cards to her.
