Celebrating Tim

For nearly a full generation, our editor, Tim Gilmer, has guided and mentored us, making our words more powerful. As Tim retires from his post, join us for a round of thanks and take a look back at some of Tim’s most impactful writing — from profiles of famous wheelers to monthly Bully Pulpit columns where he shared his life and heart. Also, we compiled a compendium of Tim’s impressive medical knowledge for wheelchair users. Thanks, Tim, you’ve left quite a legacy.
