About 6 months ago I was driving down Davison Ave in Muscle Shoals and I saw a woman in a wheelchair walking her dog. Just caught my attention and I thought that it was great that no matter what the dog had to be walked and here was this woman in a wheelchair.
Was having some work done there at the house and I was telling the man doing the work about a woman that I had just seen in a wheelchair over on Davison Ave walking a dog and how remarkable I thought that was. He actually knew of her and told me that her name was Allison Wetherbee and that she was born with no arms or legs. He said that she obtained a education and worked at Riverbend.. He told me a story about when state auditors or something had come to Riverbend and was going through paperwork and all= One of the auditors questioned the penmanship of this paper; So they let them meet the woman who wrote that and it was Allison Wetherbee. Not another word was said about the penmanship on that paperwork.
Never did get the pleasure of meeting Allison but I will never forget the image of seeing her in her chair and walking her dog. And the story the worker shared with me.. I bet she was a great person and she has really changed my outlook on things, and I never even met her; just seen her in her wheelchair walking her dog.
