His accomplishments and vision never cease to amaze me. Producing this story, we did an interview with Mr. Nugent in his home office. Although it had been 50 years since he established the wheelchair sports program at the U of I, he remembered the events like it was yesterday. When he recalled that a letter written by a professor at the UIUC campus complimenting his disabled athletes, this great man who had accomplished so much was moved to tears. Every student that he has helped was like a brother, son or daughter to him. I was proud to do this story so that in some small way it reminds us of what one person can accomplish. And how one life can touch the lives of so many.
