When Frank Epperson's van was pulled over by the Southport, Indiana police in 1988, it wasn't about a broken taillight. They wanted to give him an official escort upon his triumphant return from the Paralympics in Seoul, South Korea. Frank competed as a wheelchair racer in Seoul as well as in Barcelona (1992). "When I retired I had the national record in the 100, 200 and 400 [meter races]." In addition to his experiences as a wheelchair athlete, in this 2013 interview Frank describes pursuing wheelchair ballroom dancing, thoughts on dating, changing attitudes towards people with disabilities, and his work as an ADA Employment Consultant at Indiana University since 1999.
