When you think of kindness, its Power is probably not the first thing That comes to mind.
He is married, with seven children and 14 grandchildren, and lives in Minnesota..
Bill continues to write on his blog (www.billschiebler.com) and is working on his next book.
In spite of his physically demanding drawbacks, today he still stays actively involved in the lives of people as a family dispute mediator, helping them to overcome their difficulties just as he has overcome his.
Upon receiving his belated diagnosis, Bill was mystified! He had gone through very physically challenging experiences throughout his life while being afflicted with early symptoms of MS.
He wasn\'t diagnosed with the illness until 19 years later after being discharged from active duty in the army.
To his utter dismay, neurologists informed him That he had displayed classic symptoms of multiple sclerosis since eighth grade.
He began noticing some perplexing medical symptoms, though.
He successfully climbed to the summit of the Matterhorn in Switzerland, had a unique meeting with President Dwight Eisenhower and his wife Mamie, and through the years developed lasting friendships with such people as Norman Vincent Peale\'s wife Ruth Stafford Peale, Zig Ziglar, and General Norman Schwarzkopf, to name just a few.
Schiebler challenged himself at every turn, and doors of opportunity opened to him.
Schiebler was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor when he carried a North Vietnamese prisoner on his back for over three miles in enemy territory as he struggled to re-enter friendly lines.
He fought in some of the most horrific battles of the war and was wounded multiple times.
Bill had already become a paratrooper in the Army Rangers.
Back in 1965, American involvement in the war over in Vietnam was expanding.
By the time he was in high school, he was competing in swimming and track.
Somehow, Bill often had eleven yard jobs at once in the small town where he grew up.
When he was old enough, he began biking from one yard job to another with a small wheelbarrow balanced on his handlebars.
As a child, he suffered from whooping cough and respiratory illnesses That left him unable to join his friends in team sports, so he played alone out in the fields of his hometown in Wisconsin.
Those who know Bill, kid him as being not a survivalist, but an overcomer.
About the Author Bill Schiebler has a ferocious tenacity That reminds people of That rabbit in the Energizer commercials: he just keeps banging away.
