Lois Taurman

As Lois Taurman briskly rolls her racing wheelchair along the streets near her home here, neighbors wave and yell greetings. Taurman returns them, usually with a smile or a quip. Those neighbors remember this spirited redheaded woman of 27 as an able-bodied athlete. In those days, she ran through these same streets, keeping herself conditioned for the various sports she played in high school and college.
