MELISSA DRIFTMEIR, a soft-spoken young lady, talked about CASA COLINA, a Rehab Center that was started in 1936 by Frances "Mother" Smith to help children with polio, It has grown to a full staffed rehab hospital with highly specialized programs and services. Many of our members can recall that former member, Bob Duncan, was treated at Casa Colina some years ago when he was unexpectedly struck with a serious nerve and muscle disease.
