“Prosthetic Perils” - speaker Andy Smith

Andy Smith is a double-amputee who suggests that life with a disability - whilst sometimes challenging - can have its lighter side! Since losing his lower right arm and leg in an accident three decades ago, Andy has had many adventures at home and abroad ... though some adventures are best avoided! 

 

In this presentation of pithy, entertaining poetry and commentary Andy shares about childhood years when, in an extraordinary way, wartime recollections of a WW1 soldier and a WW2 fighter pilot helped to prepare him for personal trials to come.
