| Description: | John Robinson, director of corporate support for WMHT Television and Radio, was born a congenital amputee. At three feet, nine inches tall, he has no hands, his arms stop at his elbows and his lower legs are attached to his hips without knees. When Robinson was a child, his parents worried about whether he’d be able to attend school, hold a pencil and support himself later in life. Yet through remarkable talent, tenacity and faith, Robinson has succeeded in business and built a family. He plays golf, drives a car and happily enjoys many experiences other people often take for granted. Free and open to the public. |
