precursor to the Rehabilitation Gazette in the form of "a leisurely quarterly" called the Toomey j. Gazette – a rather opaque name for general purposes, but one that was instantly recognizable to respiratory polios throughout the United States. And it went to all of them she could find, in North America, the British Commonwealth, Europe, South America and elsewhere. "Our aim," wrote Laurie in 1960, is "to reach and advance respiratory polios all over the world and to share the problems, experiences, thoughts and adventures that would be of value." She wrote parts of the magazine, but preferred to publish articles in the words of polio survivors themselves. She and her husband Joe edited it, but always in collaboration with people who were themselves living with significant physical disabilities. At first the Gazette seemed concerned primarily with sustaining the bonds polio survivors had already formed with each other, and in helping them to record and communicate to each other important techniques, and steps in their continuing rehabilitation. But its mission quickly broadened and deepened. Access to higher education was an early concern, and Laurie invited articles on the subject from seriously disabled people whom she knew had successfully negotiated access and were well on the way to completing their educations. Attendant care was another persistent concern, as was transportation, employment, and travel. There were architectural barriers to be coped with. There was discrimination in employment. The best hope for getting the public attention and social resources necessary to support independent living for disabled people seemed to depend crucially on demonstrating the ways in which that could be successful. There was no reason to limit these demonstrations to the lives of respiratory polio survivors, or polio survivors generally, even if one were committed centrally to serving their needs. In 1964 Laurie changed the name of her nonprofit organization to Iron Lung Polios and Multiplegics, Inc. In the following years there would be further name changes, often with less regard to transparency for the general public than to signaling (to the disability community at large) her organization's sensitivity to the constantly evolving social, medical, and political landscape. In 1970, Iron Lung Polios and Multiplegics became Rehabilitation Gazette, Inc. to signal Laurie's focus on producing a more substantial magazine of the same name – one that would be relevant across many disabilities. In 1971, Gini and Joe Laurie left Cleveland and returned to
