Boy who regained sight struggles with simple tasks
In Decatur Li on June 21 an 18 year old, Raul Pennington, who spent 13 years blind, finds reading printing or script difficult after gaining sight. He can read Braille like a child, recalls past carpentry skill, and seeks practice with tools. He lost sight at four, spent time in a Louisville blind institute, learned Braille, carpentry, and planographic skills, and has wandered the country seeking work. The Salvation Army now aids him as he searches for his family and a place to settle.
