Siblings Tackle Life, Fun, in Tandem

BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio — The tandem swing goes so high it requires harnesses and a hoist, plus safety helmets and nerve. More than a few of the would-be riders looked up — 34 feet up, to be exact — and balked.

excitement as he begins a tandem
swing ride at Camp Willson with
 his sister Susan Meyer, 20.

Barb Sapharas listened to the coaching that ensued and smiled. Each set of swing partners were siblings, one with a lifelong disability and one without, ready again to laugh and love each other through something scary.
