AP-061/08-08/30M/Parris Printing/Nashville, TN About the cover Dr. Wayne Mosley (’83) holds an Iraqi child caught in a firefight with her father as they were driving. Mosley worked with Jim Young, of Macon, Ga., who built a prosthetic foot, to give her a new foot. Mosley said, “Because of the economic situation in Iraq, this child would be walking with crutches for the rest of her life. The future of Arab women with a deformity is miserable. This prosthetic will help provide her a normal life.” Fall 2008 Bill Persinger 1
