Blind Broommaker Keeps Busy In Plymouth Ohio
Frank Dillon, one of Ohio's 27 blind broommakers, runs Frank's Broom Shop after losing sight to glaucoma. He trained in 1971, built 8,000 brooms sold for 4 to 6 dollars, and donated large brooms for Willard tornado cleanup in 1973 while the state supported blind broommaking since 1908.
