Paralyzed West Frankfort Youth Plans Peoria Hospital Entry
An 18 year old West Frankfort boy paralyzed from the neck down after a driving accident plans to enter a Peoria hospital early in January. Gary Ogelsby injured while swimming near Coal City in 1955 has been bedfast since, though recently he can sit in a wheelchair briefly. His mother says doctors at the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offered no promise but hopes he may regain use of his hands. He would have graduated from Frankfort Community High School last June.
