My blindness? No more than an inconvenience

Deloitte and Touche, jamie.weller{at}mcmail.com

A blind ex-service man gives an account of the onset of cone dystrophy which brought an end to his career as an aircraft engineer. He tells of his rehabilitation and training in residential settings, of the acquisition of new skills, and of studying to gain a bachelor's degree, and of setting out on an entirely new professional career. What emerges from the story is a man who is positive, determined not to let his blindness undermine his ambitions and committed, too, to participating in vigorous activities that give pleasure and meaning to his life.
