      Drive to end polio

      Author is a Spring Hill, Kansas Rotarian pictured here administering

      the polio vaccine to an infant in India.

      Several years ago I learned about the incredible work Rotary clubs and Rotary International is doing to eradicate the polio virus from the face of the earth (there are three poliovirus strains). The possibility of permanently eliminating a disease resonated with me; especially a disease that cripples children.

      Two drops of the oral polio virus vaccine is all it takes to ensure a child is free from the threat of this crippling disease. At the writing of this book, endemic polio has been reduced to Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.

      We’re almost there. We can’t give up now. Therefore, proceeds from this book will be donated to the polio eradication effort. Giving the two drops of vaccine to children in India was my Rotary moment. Let your purchase of this book be your moment. Become part of history – help wipe polio off the face of the earth!

      Visit http://www.polioeradication.org and http://www.rotary.org for additional information regarding the polio eradication effort.

      Thank you!

      Preface

      With her father in Bourbon, Missouri,

      the author gets a feel for the steering wheel.

      Editorial note: I use the word you throughout this book to indicate the reader, a driver, or people in general.

      ~

      I have been passionate about driving ever since I can remember. You see, I’m a driving enthusiast. Not the type of enthusiast that knows every car--make and model. I’m the type of enthusiast that wants to have the best driving experience getting around town or having a highway adventure. Driving is an enormous responsibility. For me, taking that responsibility seriously is an art and a lot of fun.

      My earliest driving memory is 3:00 o’clock on the morning of vacation when I was about six years old. My family always left on vacation in the wee hours before dawn. Makes the car run better when you don’t drive in the heat, Dad rationalized. How well the car ran didn’t matter to me. It was just fun to be carried out of bed in my jammies and laid back to rest on the car-bed.

      Car-bed instructions: place one appropriately sized hard sided suitcase on each side of the drive train hump between the front and back seat. Pad entire area with blankets.

      OK, so you have to go to a flea market these days to find hard-sided suitcases, and there isn’t enough room between the front and back seat of most cars anymore, and there are seatbelt laws, and so many people drive vans and SUV’s… But in MY day none of that was a problem and I was in bliss.

      My next driving memory is that my father could tell me exactly when to blow out the red signal light so it would turn green. You probably don’t need those instructions! Dad was always thinking ahead; planning every driving maneuver. That is how I became hooked on driving strategy. Or as I like to call it, driving finesse!

      In full disclosure I was fearful of one thing; my father’s passing gusto. If he wanted to pass you he would pass you. Believe me when I say there were not enough brake peddles in the car for the rest of the family. My heart would nearly burst through my skin; my palms would become clammy as they clenched the seat to prepare for the worse
