We are deep into a record setting winter in the United States. Time for a taste of summer.
My grandmother, Anna Pereksta, spent several months in Saranac Lake (NY) recovering from influenza. Her care there was paid for by Endicott Johnson, her employer. Most of the patients were being treated for tuberculosis, but she always said she had had the flu.
Whatever the disease, those months recovering were a cherished time in a life that was far more work than play.
