len I read in the paper
the other day that Jonas
Salk had died, I was
transported back to the
summer more than 65 years ago
when, as a lonely summer person,
he sat on my porch.
At the time I knew him, few
would have guessed that he was
to achieve fame, not to mention
fortune as well. To put it blunt-
ly, he was a nerd, one of the group
we, who lived at Rockaway beach
all year, disdainfully called "sum-
mer people."
Because my family was among
the elite year-rounders, we had a
real house complete with a wide
porch that boasted a swing, sev-
eral chairs and a railing broad
enough to seat late-comers. Most
nights, older teen-agers could be
found crowded on the porch and
trickling down the steps.
One night, Jonas Salk simply
appeared, early enough to cap-
ture a seat. I don't know if some-
one brought him; or, attracted by
the light and noise, he landed in
our midst. He was tall, but his
scholar's stoop almost hid that
fact. In contrast to our tans, he ap-
peared pallid. Beyond that, he was
totally forgettable.
From that time on, he sat there
night after night. Jonas rarely
said a word. Occasionally, from
his direction, a hesitant cough, a
sigh or mumbled word was his
only contribution. The only time
Jonas reacted was when we were
joined by my friend Horty.
Horty was one of my five or six

"best friends." She swayed when
she walked; and her naturally
blond, straight hair, a novelty in
that society, floated softly down
her back. Except for her hair, the
rest of Horty was average or be-
low; and I knew she was flattered
by Jonas' hot stares. Once in a
while, she would toss him a
phrase and he'd mumble a re-
sponse. Mostly, however, she ig-
nored him.
We didn't date much in those
days. We were a crowd and Jonas
seemed content to remain on the
fringe as long as he could admire
Horty. And so the summer
passed.
Horty and I drifted apart. She
called once to tell me that Jonas
had called her before he went off
to college. He coughed out an in-
vitation; but when she failed to re-
spond, he quickly hung up.
Sometime later, Horty married
and we lost track of each other.
Thus, I was unprepared for her
voice over the phone the day after
the Salk vaccine was announced.
"Have you read the papers?" she
panted. "Should I write him a let-
ter of congratulations?"
"Of course," I replied. "I'm sure
he'll remember you."
Some years later, Horty and I
bumped into each other. I asked
her whether she had ever heard
from Jonas.
"Not a word!" she replied, "I
guess he was too famous for us.
After all we had been to each oth-
er, he never even replied!"
I commiserated with her po-
litely, but I knew why Jonas had
ignored her letter. Even a genius
likes revenge. l I
