Veteran - Retired AF

    Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 11:57 AM [General]

    I am a Retired Air Force - Disabled Veteran.

    I am a hip disarticulation amputee (no left leg) .

    I became an amputee fairly young, and my prosthtic leg was so slow, iIhave pretty much used hi-tech wheelchairs and crutches.

    I was really active in wheelchair sports for several years (Veterans Wheelchair Games, DAV ski clinic, Wright State Univ. Basketball).  

    The majority of my 20's & 30's were spent on individual sports like wheelchair road racing and 3-track skiing.

    I am a Boy Scout Assistant Scout Master for my son's Troop, and own a 70 Chevelle that hasn't been on the road awhile.

     I would be interested in swapping new LEFT shoes for new RIGHT shoes, since I don't use my prosthetic leg.

    I have many shoes (hiking boot, dress shoe, moccasin, and tennis shoe) I would like to trade.

    Shoes sizes range between 11 & 11-1/2 (I have a few 10-1/2's).

     

    I will send images if anyone is interested.
