Blind Illinois graduate plans a career in law
Roger Strode, 35, a University of Illinois law school graduate who is legally blind, plans to open his own practice in Mahomet or Kankakee. He lost his sight by 1965 after a Mayo Clinic diagnosis, studied at Olivet Nazarene College, and credits blind mentors for pursuing law with aides like readers and tape recorders.
