Team Effort

This story reminds me of my days as a "pusher".

The Tribune - News

Norma is blind and Vicki is paraplegic. Change it around. Vicki can see and Norma can walk.

Together they can take in and enjoy the Greely Independence Stampede.

At Holladay Center, a school for the disabled that I attended as a child, I was enlisted to push a wheelchair when my class went on field trips. The wheelchair served as an aide in my walking, and I served as an extra ambulatory body to help a classmate in a chair get around.

And....being needed and useful is wonderful therapy.
