"I was integrated, that's the word they used in those days, into a sighted school. I rode a bicycle. Played baseball. All the normal things. My tolerant childish colleagues helped me do those. And so I grew up thinking that I could do virtually anything and of course that's nonsense. You probably don't want me as a brain surgeon but is's a lot better than believing there are things that you should never try."
