Cerebral Palsy would be a major setback in a normal man's life, but for Bill Sauer it was only the first setback in an amazing life.  Born in 1908, Bill  wasn't supposed to live past the age of seven.  Instead Bill bested that mark by more than ten times, and became a legend and beloved friend to the people of Logan.

"Passing the same test as everyone else," Bill graduated from Logan High School in 1932.  Bill also received an honorary Varsity "L" his senior season for his "unending devotion to all LHS athletic teams."  Bill never missed a game or practice during the school year sports of Football, Basketball, and Track and Field.

After his father died in 1946, Bill supported not only himself, but his mother as well by operating a concession stand at the city pool, a small candy store, and by selling Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions.

Bill's smiling face and his specially made motor vehicles became a familiar sight around Logan.  During a 35-year stretch, Bill missed only three LHS football games.  He became affectionately known as "Logan's Number One Sports Fan."  Bill was named Ohio's Handicapped Person of the Year in 1967.
