Encephalitis stole my health on May 10, 1976. Iave lived in a near useless body from that day to this. I cannot walk, talk, or lift an arm, but I do what I can. I can blink my eyes to activate a sensor mounted on a pair of glasses that operates a computer for me. I use my computer to converse, compose letters, and write short stories that appear in my local newspaper, the Ninety Six Star and Beacon. A friend, Dale, and I put together a collection of my stories for a book entitled Seedlings. No book ever experiences the success the author hopes for, but Seedlings did let me make many new friends, including children from a middle school in Chapin, South Carolina, who read it. It has taken almost three years, but I now have another volume of my short stories to present. I call it Faithas Promise. I spent my formative years hunting, fishing, and riding my motorcycles near Chappells, South Carolina. Encephalitis left me speechless and motionless in 1976. I now spend much of my time writing about my memories and thoughts with my eye-controlled computer. I love sharing my stories with people.
