ELDERS | Episode 2 Travels With Corbett

A drawing in black, white and gray of Corbett O'Toole as a little girl carry a purse and using crutches. She has a brace on her right leg. Behind her is a gray chain-link fence, a wall and olive green grass. The image is vignetted in a brushwork olive green frame.

Corbett O’Toole is 72 and lives in a van in the desert. But her life story embodies the strength of empowered disabled people who are agents of change, people who, like Corbett, have made history and continue to do so. “Travels With Corbett” was co-produced and co-reported by Julie Reynolds and Mara J. Reynolds with guest reporting by Brenda Zorn. For detailed show notes, visit grayarepodcast.com.
