Default Jim Weir's OSH Chairs

Sorry, no. All of Dave's medical equipment either went back to rental
suppliers, or was donated to the Ohio ALS Association. The chair fell into
the latter category, I believe. Paid for by Medicare.

Last Christmas, we had a big family reunion in Columbus. Almost all the
known Chilcoats made it
(http://www.geocities.com/viewptmd/ReunionGroup.jpg). I looked out into the
hallway at the hotel and was amazed to see Dave in his chair with my
grandson Tristan on his lap, doing wheelies up and down the hallway.
Trystan loved it, and I'm sure Dave did, too. He was able to see 162 mph
indicated in his Dodge Stealth a few years ago. Quite a character. Loved
anything fast, even a wheelchair.

Dave's high power chair shown, (which had a setting called "Ludicrous
Speed" that would actually allow wheelies!) is now available, but I
doubt that it would fit in Atlas. We had to haul it out on a trailer (no,
I didn't drag it on the back of the Archer; we drove).



Is Dave's high powered chair for sale?
