Cal-Diego PVA Board Member Hornored
Duane Norman was honored last week at the 2011 Victory of Spirits celebration supporting the Sharp Rehabilitation Services and Sharp HealthCare Foundation. This was a very special evening to recognize the 2011 Eagle Spirit Award winners - the extraordinary patients and staff of Sharp Rehabilitation Services who demonstrate the strength of the human spirit and the power of giving back to others.
A professional videographer, Randy Stubbs, spent a lot of time with Duane and Felicia making this inspirational piece on Duane and his life. I thought that some of you might want to see this short video on one of our own members. Select the link below and enjoy.
