Joe Dowling was 13 years old when he contracted polio, the pandemic ravaging America back in 1952. Joe's future was changed with no input from him. But he adapted to meet the challenges polio created and he has enjoyed a lovely family and has had a very successful business career. And recently he won a Gold Medal playing pickleball in a wheelchair at the national tournament in Florida when he was 82 years old. This was not what he was thinking he would accomplish back in 1952 when polio struck!! Being an adapter matters!!
