Puryear Finds Path After Blindness at Local Bakery
James Puryear, known as Fats, trained at the Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind Center in Little Rock with Lions Club and Social Security aid. He then joined Meyer's Bakery in Hope in October 1972, folding cartons and earning standard benefits, turning a personal hardship into a productive, independent life aided by talking books and music.
