Remembering Paul Alexander

 

 

There are times, there are stories, there are people that make us pause and reflect and be thankful.

This is one of those times, stories, and people.

Mr. Paul Alexander.

It’s 1954. Stricken down with polio at age 6, his parents had no option but an iron lung, which enabled the boy to breath. Mr. Alexander lived 70 years this way. On his back. Hooked up to a machine. But rather than feel sorry for himself, he earned a B.A. from SMU, and a law degree from the University of Texas. He worked and helped people. He wrote. He painted.

Mr. Alexander died in Dallas yesterday. He was the longest-living person in history on an iron lung.

This really puts things into perspective, doesn’t it?
