Honors Disabled Texan to receive presidents highest award Associated Press AUSTIN — Doctors told James Caldwell he would never hold a meaningful job or live a normal life after a half-filled fuel can exploded as he was lighting an outdoor grill, leaving him blind and confined to a wheelchair. The doctors were wrong. And early next month, Caldwell will receive the nation s highest honor for people with handicaps. Despite the 1962 accident and the doctors’ dire warnings, Caldwell has become an Internationa! Business Machines system analyst, helping de velop new products for IBM. He has been named Handicapped American for 1985 by the Presi dent’s Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, which plans to award him the President’s Trophy, the nation’s highest award for the handicapped. “It’s a real honor,” Caldwell said. “I have a chance to bring what I think is a reasonable message.” The message, Caldwell said, is that people ought to be looked at for their abilities, not their disabilities. “Everybody has disabilities,” he said. “With some people, though, they show more than others, and those people are called hand icapped.” As an IBM systems analyst, Cald well, 48, designed a computer pro gram that uses a voice synthesizer to aid the blind in editing. But that technology wasn’t available for Cald well when he wanted to learn about computer programming. He became interested in comput- “You’ll Love My Dos Gusanos means — "two worms" — and it’s the name of a new brand of Mezcal [second cousin to Tequila], imported from Mexico.

Friday A Saturday Listen to KKYS FM105 ers when he heard about efforts to use computers to print Braille. With the assistance of another paraplegic who read IBM computer manuals aloud to him, Caldwell learned computer programming af ter a year of studying. He eventually landed a job with a Maryland tele phone company. Later, Caldwell earned a doctor ate degree in general business from the University of Texas, graduating with honors. Because of the Depression, Cald well said he was used to “self-reli ance” and he attributes his drive to live a normal life to his background. “In our household we had a multi generation family hardened by the Depression,” Caldwell said. “Taking care of yourself was something you had to do.” As chairman of an Austin organi zation that helps the handicapped adjust to everyday life, Caldwell shares his tenacity with others. Caldwell compares his success in overcoming his handicaps to a book he once read that chronicled explor ers of the Arctic. “The only people who made it were the people who worked their way into nature,” he said. “You can go through life fighting it or you can accept it the way it is and take advan tage of everything thrown in front of you.” Although Caldwell said he is hon ored by the national, state and local recognition he has received, he said he is looking forward to a day when a handicapped person won’t be awarded for fitting into society.
