When you
face an obstacle in your life, think of Ron "Gus" Gustafson.
Gus battled for his life at age 9 after a tractor accident that took his
right arm and shoulder and crushed his right leg. In spite of his injury,
he was determined to excel in athletics and in life. Gus played varsity
basketball -- dazzling the coach who once said "that poor little
one-armed Gustafson kid would never make the team!"
He was the first recipient of the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of
Fame inspiration award named in his honor. For Gus, each set-back has
presented an opportunity to grow.
This video is the perfect addition to the libraries of any elementary,
middle or jr./sr. high school, churches, and the resource centers of companies
and organizations.
