Sobre IBD

What was it like to attend a suburban Maryland high school in the mid-1970s as a stellar student, high-adventure explorer, dedicated lifeguard, board gaming nerd, and perpetrator of pranks involving everything from toilet-papering raids to boulder-size pet rocks? Gordon Mead Stewart’s lively high school memoir shows how one person could do all this and more-making the most of freedom and opportunities despite battling juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
