Facing Physical Challenge
Bill Demby
Monday, 02 Apr 1990 at 8:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Bill Denby lost both his legs in Vietnam and returned to become a nationally-ranked disabled track and field competitor. Dupont's Seattle Foot now permits him to play stand-up basketball again. He counsels the disabled and recently won the "Victory Award" from the Kennedy Center for facing a physical challenge and turning his life around. From the University Lectures Program archive.
