Good morning, Ms. Magee:
I just happened to read about Albert Sabin who developed the Polio vaccine and he was born in Russia (in a town that is now part of Poland), but his last name was actually Saperstein.When his family emigrated to the U.S, they changed it to Sabin.This is just information I am passing on.
