(“and something spontaneous”. draws a blank with us. As stated there had been much publicity about the vaccine. I recall that Jane and I decided to take the vaccine more or less on the spur of the moment, without advance planning, but hesitate to claim that here.

(“A meeting.” We can say that a meeting of many people was involved when we took both types of vaccine; distribution took place in high schools, and many people were there waiting.

(“Squares.” I thought this a reference to the form in which we received the vaccine on both occasions. See the sketch on page 51. We were each given a small cube—the squares—of pink sugar, containing the vaccine, and we let them dissolve on our tongues.

(“A connection with a family group, of one, five, three and two.” Both envelope objects refer to family groups. We are not sure what the numbers refer to. Types one, two and three polio vaccines are referred to on the cards, but this leaves the five to be explained. Nor do the numbers fit our family groups completely. In the phone book the school at which we received the vaccine on each occasion is listed by avenue, but no number is given.

(“A specific address.” The back of one of the envelope objects contains our address, 458 West Water Street, Elmira, NY, written there by me when we took Sabin Type I polio vaccine in October 1962.

(“Connection with a fall, or something falling,” Both Jane and I felt at once that this referred to my falling ill with the virus, on March 24,1965. Seth discusses the virus episodes that I became involved in, after taking the polio vaccines, in the 243rd session. See pages 40-41. I literally fell ill, falling in a faint upon arising one morning. In addition, Jane had a vivid dream in which I fell ill in the same manner, perhaps a week before the event. In reality I fainted in the bathroom; in Jane’s dream I fainted in the kitchen.

(“and a formal rather than an informal affair.” We suppose that taking vaccine is probably more a formal than an informal affair.

(“For some reason I get the impression of the words organization with the family group.” Family groups are mentioned on the envelope objects, and the vaccine was distributed by the Chemung County Medical Society, an organization.

(“Did the data on the squares refer to the vaccine?”)

(Jane has no idea as to whether or not she wore beads when we received either of the vaccines.

(Jane still didn’t remember the children’s drawings in the hallway of the school on one of the occasions when we took the vaccine, but I did—again, when Seth mentioned it.
