Subject: RE: BS: Wheelchair info
Thanks for the heads-up on that, Kat. I'll see if I can get a copy.
I remember hearing NPR correspondent John Hockenberry (now a correspondent for ABC) on the radio some years back, and over a period of time, learned that he was in a wheelchair. Then I heard he had written a book. I got it from the library. And it blew my socks off!! I bought a copy and read it again.
This guy has been places and done things that would scare the bejesus out of the vast majority of able-bodied people.
It's as good as any adventure story ever written. And it's all true!!
