Five years ago...On April 16, 2002, as Larry Woody travelled north on I-5 to his job as a auto shop manager in Eugene OR, a tractor-trailer crossed the center median, striking Larry'sToyota Celica 
head on, fracturing his lower back, breaking his ribs, lacerating his knees and legs... but his face and eyes were the most severly damaged. In a 7 1/2 hour marathon surgery, doctors rebuilt his face from his jawbones to his eyebrows, but they were not able to save his eyesight. He is now completely blind.
What has happened since then, following recovery (in a year he was back at work), is a truly remarkable story, recently chronicled on CBS Evening News- Assignment America with Katy Couric. See this and other media coverage that helps tell Larry's inspiring story, by clicking on the menu links in the left column. There's more to come as Larry assembles plans to break the Bonneville Flats land speed record (for a blind person).
