EDDIE LUCIER
EDDIE LUCIER was injured while serving with the Army Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in 1961. The injury left Lucier a C5/C6 quadriplegic. After a medical discharge from the Army, the young man from Warwick, RI, was transferred for further treatment at a VA rehabilitation center, close to home in West Roxbury, MA. ...
... With rehabilitation behind him and an uncertain future ahead of him, Lucier --- as some of his hospital buddies already had --- opted to check out a place in Mexico that promoted freedom and a new beginning for paraplegics and quadriplegics. After contracting with one of the West Roxbury hospital attendants to accompany him, Lucier was on his way to spend Christmas of 1963 at George Ray's place in Quadalajara.
