![]() That Tuesday morning was a routine work morning for Michael Hingson, who was preparing for a sales presentation in his office at the World Trade Center. ![]() In his role at the time as regional sales manager, he was among the 30 percent of all blind people who are gainfully employed. The man, Michael Hingson, who descended those 78 flights to life and safety with his beloved guide dog, Roselle, was totally blind and fully employed. But the story can be celebrated for yet another reason by those of us who read or write for AccessWorld. Again and again, it inspires audiences with the example of partnership and faith that it represents. The story is, as Hingson says, evergreen. The story was also told in the book, Thunder Dog, written by Susy Flory. That handler, Michael Hingson, has told the story many times-at conventions and conferences, churches and Kiwanis clubs, and all audiences have found the story compelling. ![]() Chances are you have heard the story of Roselle, the amazing Labrador retriever guide dog, who on September 11, 2001, patiently guided her blind handler down 78 flights of stairs to life and safety, away from the crumbling World Trade Center. ![]()
