   I received what I thought was the Sabin vaccine in high school, but the dates   
   are wrong.  I was given an injection, which is the Salk vaccine, which was   
   introduced in 1952 (I think), but I couldn't have been in high school at that   
   time as I would have been in college and I know I didn't get it there.  So,   
   maybe I think what I received as a polio vacccine in high school was something   
   entirely.

   I discovered that the last time I went to my doctor for a shot (I forget what   
   for), it was a steroid of some kind.  (-:

   I've got a '99 Yukon here, but it drives and rides so nice, I'm not willing to   
   part with it because I may tire of the Mercedes-Benz.  I'm shopping around for   
   a radio w/CD player for the Benz right now.
