SCRIMMAGE

EXTRACT: Hi, I'm Tom and I've never been to a support group before. Unless you count going to a bar, been to quite a few of those. (He sniffs). Ummm. I lost my wife Anna about 10 months ago now. It was cancer...

EXTRACT: Roy Campanella was a baseball hall-of-famer, so my husband tells me. In 1958 he was paralyzed in a car crash and was unable to play ever again. Today before we begin class, I am going to read an extract from a poem he wrote shortly after his tragic accident. It is called â€œA creed for those who have suffered."
