<p>No hands...no feet...NO PROBLEM? “What do you want to write about Don for?” one of Don's oldest and best friends asked me when I interviewed him for this book. “There's nothing special about Don.” I volunteered to help Don tell his story partly because he is the most special person I have ever met – and, as a journalist of 30 years, I've met some special people.Don stands out.He does not stand out because he can pick up a dime off the floor, throw a football or play table tennis. Nor because he can recite chapter and verse for volumes of sports trivia. Nor because he finds time to volunteer for community service projects. Nor because he is charismatic, funny, energetic, engaging, optimistic . . .He stands out because he makes other people look past the incredibly special challenge of being born without hands or feet and see him as just another person. He stands out because despite the cruel joke of being born with the skills of a professional athlete but without the tools to achieve his potential; he still competes in sports as just another one of the guys in a pick-up game. He stands out because he just another one of the crew working the American Legion beer tent during his town's annual celebration.It's a great enigma, but there's another one about Don.Imagine the incredibly bad luck of being born without hands or feet; and then match that to the incredibly good luck of being born to a family and in a community perfectly set to raise Don to his full potential. It would be easy to curse or deny God for the injustice that brought a baby into the world so deformed, but at the same time it is easy to stand in awe of the power of faith – in his family, in his community and in Don — that has brought him so far.The other reason I volunteered to help with this is that I consider Don a good friend. I hope others reading this will or do like him as well.He's not perfect, but then which of us is? Brian</p>

<p>"No Hands, No Feet, No Problem" is a book that everyone should read. It is a book that gives you a better understanding of the trials that physically challenged people face everyday. This book makes you appreciate your own health and is an inspiration to anyone facing any kind of uphill battle, which we all do. I have watched how hard Don works to cover the Hawkeyes and I appreciate his efforts and kind words but more importantly his ability to do his job with no excuses." Lisa Bluder Head Women's Basketball Coach The University of Iowa I met Don in December of 2003 and, although I work with a broad spectrum of patients with differing abilities, he took me by surprise. He began seeing me for chronic neck pain and headaches. As he rattled off his list of daily work and home activities, exercise regimen and hobbies, I found myself pausing in writing because I was trying to picture how he accomplished many of them. There is really nothing that he doesn't do. Because of his long torso, his prosthetics, and the vi compensations he has to make with his arms, his back and neck pay the price. He has responded beautifully to therapy and he has been diligent with his home exercise program of stretching, strengthening, and swimming, as well as postural and work space modifications. No one likes to stop several times a day to stretch or do an array of exercises, but Don does them and because of this, we rarely see each other any more. Don has a rather rare trait in that he holds himself accountable for his health, his achievements, and his life. He takes responsibility for the things that he must do and he just does them; no excuses and no complaints. There are many with more that do less. Jami Hartwig Physical Therapist</p>
