Dick was greatly crippled by polio and his parents' divorce. We hear his voice through the all his school years describing his life, its joys and fears, triumphs and failures. His observations are tainted by his changing attitudes. His story is a testimony of the resilience of the human spirit. Moments of encouragement counteract periods of lonely desperation. He captures both the tragedy and comedy that comprise childhood and growth.The title, "No Longer Crippled", may require clarification. There has been no miraculous restoration of the shriveled muscles of my left leg. What changed was the realization that it was not my physical limitations that crippled me, but my mental view of myself as the victim of a world that was unfairly against me. After I finally discovered that most people are friendly or at least neutral, I was able to channel my efforts into positive, helpful tasks. Since then I have received more good experiences and happiness than I deserve.

Richard Galbraith was born in Phoenix, AZ in 1946 and have lived there most of my life. He graduated from Cornell University with a major in mathematics and went on to get Master Degrees in Youth Work and Applied Criminology. His career path meandered through teaching mathematics in a reform school, managing a unit of the Boys Clubs of America, serving as a Juvenile Probation officer, teaching in a middle school, becoming the first Research & Statistical Analyst for the State Department of Corrections which led to becoming a software engineer. Recently retired, he lives in Sandwich, MA with his wife of 40 years and volunteer as a classroom aide in our local grade school. His previous books are A Gringo in Milparada and Professional Programming Techniques: Starting with the BASICs.
