TODAY IS MY ANNIVERSARY


FROM THE BACK COVER --- QUADALAJARA: The Utopia That Once Was


"On April 22, 1969, just five days after returning safely home from a tour of duty in Vietnam, a tragic event changed Jack Tumidajski's life forever.

Jack spent the next twenty-three months in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. Upon his discharge from the West Roxbury VA Hospital in Massachusetts, the now-quadriplegic veteran had to cope with life in the real world --- a world nearly vacant of opportunity for its severely disabled citizens.

After another year and a half of living as a virtual shut-in, Jack decided to journey into uncertainty. In order to gain more independence, he moves to a city in Mexico that would someday be known as "Quadalajara." Little did he know he was about to enter into a special place in time.

Relive the journey taken previously by veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and other quadriplegics and paraplegics who discovered paradise south of the border. Share lessons learned and memories experienced by those who got a second chance at life --- in Quadalajara."
