In the ‘50’s, when my little sister got the measles, I got shut in the same room with her until I caught them. SOP back then! Then she got the mumps. Same deal. Shut me in the room with her. I didn’t catch the mumps. Gotz to be careful!

I got both from my older brother by the time I was six.

I had measles in the 40s and was very ill for about a week. One thing that I recall is that my Mother darkened the room. I thought that was foolish until I learned that measles, left unattended, can cause blindness. Nothing to mess with. I’d go for the vaccine.

I never got the mumps either, even though my 3 brothers did.
