BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Nora Unruh felt a sense of relief when she was vaccinated for COVID-19.
But it didn’t bring back memories about getting her polio shot at the first vaccine clinic in Bismarck six decades ago.
“That’s probably a good thing,” the 72-year-old Basin Electric retiree and grandmother of two said, laughing.
The front page of The Bismarck Tribune from June 9, 1955, recounts her shot that day at the World War Memorial Building:
“Six-year-old Nora Jeanne Bohrer . was a somewhat reluctant first youngster through the line, but she soon wiped her tears away.” (“Oh, for cute,” she said after hearing the story.)
âI do not believe the healing process has started. I do not believe the trial is going to âhealâ anyone. With the lives of Bill, Lois, Adam and Robert taken so senselessly, there is no reason that could make sense, and how does one heal from that?â Jackie Fakler, co-owner of RJR Maintenance & Management in Mandan, where four people including her husband were brutally slain on April Fools Day two years ago. The suspect is scheduled for trial in June.
