10/20/08     I am currently talking with renowned motivational speaker Dr. Bobby Smith, a former Louisiana State
                       Trooper who was shot in the line of duty and left blind.  After years of struggling emotionally,
                        physically, and spiritually, Bobby persevered and eventually overcame his demons.  Bobby
                        penned his amazing story in his book VISIONS OF COURAGE and has authored other
                        compelling works.  He has since lectured to a million souls, including two former presidents.
