Gipe's whose described him as "incredible person who was paraplegic for 51 years, but never disabled.  He married twice, worked his entire adult life when he could have sat back and collected disability.  He was reading Dostoevsky at 10 years old.  Probably because he was in an iron lung for a year, at 6 years old!! That would expand your brain wouldn't it?  I've learned there are a lot more people disabled walking around than my brother ever was in his wheelchair :)"
