Fishing is his great recreation, and his acute hearing has made him a delighted auditor at football and baseball sidelines. On the occasion of Hadley's 250th anniversary parade, he designed 30 floats, working out color schemes with his wife's aid. A radio enthusiast, he hopes soon to have broadcast to his 100,000 fellow blind people in the U. S., his autobiography, Hitting the Dark Trail...
