THE EXPLORERS

JAMES SEYBOLD --- Countless PVA members were surely mesmerized while turning their May 1955 issue of their Paraplegia News to page four: "Mexico, a Paradise for Paraplegics," by James Seybold.
"Did you have a hard and trying winter?" the article begins. "And you Californians; did the smog and fog drive you to distraction? Your worries are now over, for here, in Mexico City, is the ideal retreat... Until you have actually seen it, it is hard to realize how beautifully modern, and how far ahead in architectural design Mexico, D.F. is." Seybold touts the "spring-like climate" and states that "the city was once the bottom of a lake" accounting for its wheelchair-friendly level landscape. From page 134 www.QuadMexico.com
