Handicapped is not a barrier for Rose Dyess at Consolidated Industries
Rose Dyess, a 60 year old mother of seven and longtime employee at Consolidated Industries in Syracuse, works daily despite a paralyzed left hand since birth. Through Consolidated United Way program, she trained as a clerk, regained walking and speech after a stroke, and now performs many tasks while supporting her daughter Michelle’s college education. She emphasizes being handicapped is more a state of mind than a true disability and values the supportive community around her.
