My New Governor


David A. Paterson will be sworn in as the new Governor next week and I found this tidbit inspiring from this Washington Post article.

As an infant, Paterson was declared legally blind, with minimal sight in only one eye, a disability that has not kept him from running a marathon and playing pickup basketball. "The impressive thing about him . . . is a constant striving to overcome his disability," said Eric Lane, who was one of his professors at Hofstra.

That's incredible! What a spirit!
