An accident at age 24 left Ken Bukowski blind, but his spirit and strong work ethic remained. He was determined to make the most of life, and that included finding a job.

The former owner of Shickluna Bike Shop on Hertel Avenue, as Ken puts it, took a chance and hired him to fix bikes. That was 27 years ago.

He may not be able to see, but Ken will tell you that doesn’t slow him down a bit.
