Thumbs Up Lou Gehrig's disease hasn't kept man from 'going wide open'
Lou Gehrig's disease hasn't kept man from 'going wide open'

Harold Johnson uses a computer to generate speech, including his frequent jokes, after losing his voice to ALS — Lou Gehrig’s disease.



GREENSBORO — A degenerative disease may have stolen Harold Johnson’s voice, but not his joy of life.

Johnson learned he had ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, in November 2007. Since then, he’s gone skydiving and driven a race car at 180 mph. He works out at the gym, plays golf, and cheers on the Greensboro Grasshoppers and his beloved Georgia Bulldogs.
