Amputee remains driven in repair work and life
Gil Adrien from Danvers, a 48 year old amputee, works as a sewing machine repairman at Sears Distribution Center in Allston and maintains machines at Endicott Junior College. Despite losing all fingers below the second joint and twice amputation of his left leg, he drives long distances and climbs stairs daily, aided by an artificial limb and unshakable resolve.
