Soon, the Harrises donated some brightly colored crutches to the children at St. Jude's Hospital and the Shriner's Hospital. Word of Bob's work spread, and people asked him to make walking sticks for them or their loved ones. When Bob showed his walking sticks to local boutiques, they gladly placed orders ... and so, an entrepreneurial business was launched. In 1991, when Barbara Bush had an accident, Bob made a pair of crutches and sent them to the White House. Since Ms. Bush likes the color red and President Bush prefers blue, Bob added white and a little gold. A lovely acknowledgment was received from Ms. Bush.
