You could see it in his eyes, and hear it in his voice, when Rotarian Randy Sproule stepped up to the podium at a recent meeting of The Rotary Club of Madison West Middleton. Sproule had a story to tell, which was both personal and of grave import. It was a tale about a four year old boy named Warren, a child who, years later, would become Sproule’s dad. The little boy, of whom Randy Sproule spoke, awoke one day, only to discover he couldn’t move his legs. Naturally, the child cried out for his parents. But, there was nothing they could immediately offer. The boy’s diagnosis was the dreaded poliomyelitis (polio).
