Laura Bischoff, a terrific reporter with whom I worked at the Dayton Daily News, produced this video about her sister, Amelia, who suffered a stroke earlier this year, and her use of tricycle that’s supported by ingenious technology — enabling her to get out and comeback.
Eddie Roth writes about education, social justice, public safety, transportation, legal affairs and historic preservation. He joined the Post-Dispatch editorial page in 2008 after six years as an editorial writer with the Dayton Daily News. But he is not new to St. Louis. Eddie grew up in Webster Groves and south St. Louis County. He's a lawyer who for many years practiced with a downtown firm, and was active in civic affairs, including serving a term on the St. Louis Police Board. He and his wife, Jeanne, and their three daughters, Emily, Julia and Alice, live in the Shaw Neighborhood.
When it comes to community organizing, he endorses Quentin Crisp's advice: Rather than keeping up with the Joneses, it's better to pull them down to your level.
Courageous. Also, great job on production. I wish her well.
Nice. Post a link to that tricycle. I see a lot of people out there opting for the elevator at the 1st sign of pain. They need to watch this.
