    He was at teenager when it happened. He was sort of a reckless type, and a practical joker, with a good sense of humour. He was always playing tricks on people even after he became blind. We once changed the furniture around in his apartment.

    His whole life changed from that one careless act. But he didn't let that slow him down. He's a very nice guy. He used to treat everyone of us ski-club members to dinners at his father's Greek Restaurant in L.A.

    Wow! What a story, Robb? Was it true Little Stevie was a prankster? Grabbing various female anatomy and claiming he trying to get where he was going? Or that he would also tell BG's unsuspecting staff that he wasn't really blind. And ",prove" it by telling them he knew what color dress or necktie they had on? [[another jokester would inform little Steveland ahead of time) Inquiring mind wants to know!!

    My Mom remembers Stevie Wonder as a little kid when he would come to Toledo to perform. She said you could tell he was bad. LOL! Not evil, but mischievous. She said they would stand him up on a box so that the audience could see him while he played harmonica and sang. Those shows were in the civil ballroom so everyone was on the same level.

    He sounds like a remarkable guy. I had a friend lose his right foot hoping trains when we were 13. I wasn't with him at the time, but he went on to play 4 years of football in high school He later opened his own barber shop and has a restaurant in our hometown.
