TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

SEPTEMBER BABIESby Kathy Wolfe

It’s birthday time for those born in September! Here are a few tidbits about these autumn babies, both past and present. • EdSullivanwas62yearsoldwhentheBeatlesmadetheirfirstliveappearanceinAmericaonhisTV variety show in 1964. Every Sundaynight since 1948, this former boxer hadpromised“a reallybig show” tohisviewers,frequently prefacing his introductions with,“And now, right here on our stage…” TheBeatles’performancemade thatweek’sshowthe most-watched program in TV history todate. Sullivan’s program remained on the airuntil1971.

•PrinceHarry,theyoungersonofCharlesandDiana born in September 1984, isn’t reallyHarry at all, but ratherHenryCharlesAlbertDavid.The27-year-oldpilotintrainingisthirdinlinetotheBritishthrone.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:CHRIS WADDELL

ChrisWaddell’s story is one of a young manwho was dealt a tragedy yet chose to turn itinto triumph.Thisweek, Tidbits looks into thelife of this remarkable athlete who overcameastoundingdifficultiestoreachvictory.• In 1988, Chris Waddell was a promisingyoung ski racer as a freshman at Vermont’sMiddlebury College.With the goal of goingAll-American, he planned to spend hisChristmas break training on the slopes. Onthefirstdayofhisvacation,heexperiencedadevastatingcrash,onethatbrokehisbackandparalyzedhimfromthewaistdown.

•AsWaddell lay recuperating in the hospital,he made up his mind to continue skiing insomeshapeorform.Withintwomonthsoftheaccident, he was back again at Middlebury,enrolled in Spring Semester classes. Tenmonths after that, he was back on the hill,learning to mono-ski in a specially-built skiframe.

•WaddellremainedontheMiddleburyskiteamasheworkedtoperfecthisabilities,andasasenioratthecollege,servedascaptainoftheteam.Twoyearsafterhisfirstattemptatmono-skiing,hewasnamedtotheU.S.DisabledSkiTeam. He first competed at the ParalympicWinter Games in 1992, winning two silvermedals. In Lillehammer’s 1994 Paralympics,he collected all four golds.He continued hisparticipationintheseeventsupthrough2002,garnering12totalmedals,becomingthemostdecorated skier in Paralympic history.

CHRIS WADDELL (continued):• As ifallofWaddell’s triumphs inski racingweren’t sufficient, he branched out intowheelchair racing and nabbed the WorldChampionship in 1998 and a Paralympicgold medal. His greatest conquest, however,occurred in 2009, when the 42-year-oldparaplegic climbed to the summit of MountKilimanjaro,Africa’shighestmountain,usingthepowerofhisownarms.Heascended the19,340-foot-high (5,895-m) mountain insix and half days, wheeling himself up in aspecially designed four-wheeled mountainbike, a 50-pound (22.7-kg), 27-geared cyclethat can scale foot-high boulders. The final4,000 feet (1,219 m) were a vertical climb,duringwhichhewassecured toawinchandpedaled up a fixed rope. Waddell estimatedthatittook528,000revolutionsofthecycle’swheels to reach the summit. Speaking of hismonumental feat, his words were, “My goalwas to change the lives of the 600 millionpeopleintheworldwithphysicaldisabilities.ThatdayIfeltlikeIrodeontheirpower.”

•WaddellhasbeenhonoredbySkiing magazine as one of “The 25 Greatest Skiers in NorthAmerica.”Hehashadmodelingassignmentsfordepartment storesandcatalogsandhadarole in the daytime drama “Loving.”People magazinehasincludedhimontheirlistof“TheFiftyMostBeautifulPeopleintheWorld.”

• Waddell has also created a non-profitfoundation called One Revolution (referringtoonerotationofawheelchair’swheel),withthegoalofbringing“hopeand inspiration tothe disabled community.” He maintains hewouldn’tchangeathingabouthislife,saying,“Idon’tthinkwhathappenstoyouisnearlyassignificantaswhatyoudowithwhathappenstoyou.”
