From Where I Sit, From Where You Stand: A Roll Through Life
by Marshall Wall
Marshall Wall and his wife LeVon reside in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1955, while attending Berea College, Marshall sustained paralysis in his lower extremities, confining him to a wheelchair. In the hospital, he met his wife-to-be LeVon, a student nurse. He resumed his education at the University of Illinois, where he obtained an advanced degree in Mathematics. His first job took them to San Diego, California. They relocated to Huntsville, Alabama, where they adopted two infants, Janis and Eric. Marshall retired from IBM. His career encompassed the Atlas Missile Activation Program, early space efforts, the Apollo program, and computer software development.
As Marshall, with his family, rolls through life, accompany him. Enjoy the witty and often whimsical episodes that occur. In work, play, travel, community, and worship, ponder the dialogues of opinions, perceptions, events, and realities of being physically challenged. It is a journey of more than fifty years in a wheelchair. It is a rare glimpse of the life of a handicapped person and his relationships with the environment and the people around him. The book is inspirational, informative, thought-provoking, and entertaining. The reader will become engrossed in the narrative. The book is published by AuthorHouse and is available by order at AuthorHouse (Website: www.authorhouse.com or Phone 1-800-839-8640) and at most book stores and/or on-line sites.
