Based on what I have read so far, I believe I know who is the oldest quadriplegic we are aware of; it is Mr. Boyd. I wrote to him and was tickled to death when he wrote back. Here is the message. Quadius
Hi Billy and others still on the Quad List, How very heart-warming to receive your nice letter, and to be reminded of former times when we on the Quad List used to duke-it-out on a variety of subjects. Yes, I'm pretty long in-the-tooth, looking to celibration of my eighty-second birthday next January. Haven't yet been instituionalized, still living in my own home, so I suppose things could be worse. About three years ago, I was diagnosed with a syrinx (syringomyelia) at the site of my injury, which impinges on the pre-existing scar-tissue, and is slowly shutting me down. I say "the slower, the better," but whatever comes next may well be the third act of "Boyd's Saga." I wish you well, and am extremely pleased that you remembered me.
