Blind auto mechanic mentors others

I saw a piece on Larry Woody on someone's mobile phone. Larry is a blind mechanic who owns his own car shop - and is mentoring a Deaf student, teaching him how to fix cars.

The news was making a big deal out of the fact that Larry works - but I know alot of people with disabilties who work. What I admire is that he mentors others. I've linked to his website above - apparently Larry used to race cars so if anyone is a car enthusiast, you might find some cool stuff on there. Oh wait - my mistake - Larry still races cars - with voice assistance from a sighted person.

Thank you Larry for your service to others!
