When a young man’s dream has always been to be a Texas Ranger, imagine his world falling around his shoulders when he is told because he has only one good leg and a wooden appendage, he does not qualify.
Now imagine an engineer offering to build a leg that functions just like a normal leg with no problems…now you have a story.
