Chasing Normality

Maureen Clark and Richard Wieler have collaborated to write "Chasing Normality: With a Little Help from Family & Friends." Wieler's story was aired nationally by BookTV on C-SPAN2.

He recounts learning to live independently, despite becoming paralyzed from the neck down as a teenager in 1955. He became a supervising attorney in the Missouri Attorney General's Office and argued before the Missouri Supreme Court. The book is filled with ordinary people who were extraordinary heroes, including the superintendent who homeschooled Dick because the high school was not accessible.

Richard Wieler and his family formed an LLC which is selling "Chasing Normality:With a Little Help From Family & Friends." Since then, he has gone to his eternal reward. He is greatly missed.
