L. GRANVILLE BLACK, JR.

One year while I was living in the Midwest, the first snow of the winter had started. As I entered the plant where I worked, I noticed long lines of tables; nurses were administering free flu shots to all employees who wished them. When approached I said, "No, thank you" and proceeded to my office. Several times during that day, which was a Wednesday, friends asked me if I had received my shot, and each time I brushed off the question with a simple "No."

When I returned home that night it was snowing harder, and I felt I had some symptoms of influenza. I was serving as First Reader in our local branch Church of Christ, Scientist. It was too late to consider getting a substitute for the Wednesday evening testimony meeting; after dinner I went to the church as usual.

The back of the church was under construction. So I used a small, unheated room adjacent to the platform in which to wait until it was time to go out onto the platform. The symptoms of flu, as well as fear, seemed to be pressing in on me. I sat there with my gloves, hat, and overcoat on. I also had plugged in a small electric heater in an effort to keep warm.
