The Paralympic Games begin today in London and go through September 9. I am rooting for (and supporting) an incredible young lady — an engineering graduate of my alma mater, Oklahoma State University — named Cassie Mitchell. Please check out the telecast below to learn more about a woman who, after a tragedy which would have caused most people to despair, went on to earn an engineering doctorate and to become a world-class athlete. GO, CASSIE!!
