My gosh, I knew he had been a quad a long time and he was probably the oldest that I know of, but I had no idea that he was injured in the 50s. I did, however, meet a quadriplegic who was about the same level as I am (C2-3) who was hurt in and some sort of accident during the last year of the Korean War (1953). I haven't had any contact with him in the last nine years, so I don't know if he has passed, but when I think of all he has gone through it sends shivers down my spine. Quadius

Hi Wheels, I agree with you on both counts. Unless I'm mistaken, his injury was sustained while landing a plane in 1954, less than one year after I was born. That is a lifetime of knowledge that he carries in his mind. Whatever it is, I wish him well in all that he does in the future.
