Not to take away anything from George about his ability to travel – instead it is important to shine a light on the definition of independence and ability – George was first provided a short Lions Club Cane at 14- but given no instruction, save from his classmate. He was also given a long cane, again with no formal instruction. His entire life was lived in the climate of not one person in his life prioritizing safe mobility.
What does it say about our culture that we insist blind children do not need to be provided with effective mobility tools from the time they start to walk? George survived, he has a sense of humor, a wife and a life - but he has never known safe mobility.
