DOSe
What’s in the best interest of the leg?
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
John Wood’s leg was amputated from the knee after a 2004 airplane crash.
He asked doctors to give it to him so he could be buried a whole man when
he died.
The limb, which Wood had kept in a smoker in a storage facility, was bought
by Shannon Whisnant, of North Carolina, last week in the storage company’s auction
to recoup Wood’s missing payments.
The two are now locked in a heated custody debate as to who should get the leg.
Whisnant, who is charging adults $3 and children $1 to look at the empty smoker, now
wants it back, anticipating Halloween business. Wood said he just wants his leg back.
“He’s making a freak show out of it,” Wood said.
NOTED. There’s not a lot of love at Percy
Julian Middle School in Oak Park, 111.
Principal Victoria Sharts banned hugging
among the 860 students anywhere inside the
building. She said students were forming “hug
lines” that made them late for classes and
crowded the hallways.
“Hugging is really more appropriate for air
ports or for family reunions,” Sharts said.
