Biografía del autor
The author, blind since birth, presents his own unique perspective on blindness by blending his life experience with his work in and out of the field of blindness Fred Olver was the first blind student to attend, and graduate from, Wayne Memorial High School in an era when most children who were blind were attending schools for the blind. He received his B.S. degree in Communications and Secondary Education and his M.A. in Blind Rehabilitation Teaching both from Western Michigan University. While a member of the Fort Wayne Jaycee's, Fred assisted in many fund-raising events and also relieved many members of their hard-earned money while playing poker with his Braille cards. During the International Year of Disabled Persons Fred was a city liaison for Fort Wayne, Indiana and has also received the American Radio Relay League's highest award for public service during a community emergency. His first job was at the School for the Blind at the age of 16 where he produced multiple copies of Braille books. He says, "If you want me to do something, just tell me I can't." He has also worked in a Library for the Blind, as a Rehabilitation Teacher, offering skills training in cooking, Braille, guiding techniques, teaching people to function in a world where vision has become a secondary rather than a primary sense. Other jobs include tele-marketer, substitute teacher, small-business owner, and snack bar manager and now he has chosen to use his expertise to provide you the reader with never-before presented concepts of thinking about blindness and how to cope with vision loss. Fred now lives in St. Louis Missouri with his daughter, Maggie, age 16 where he spends his time gardening, barbecuing on his gas grill, collecting movies and developing an internet business.
