Going theby Edmund Extra Lawler Mile Jim Dolph’s recounting of the industrial acci- dent at ArcelorMittal steel mill 11 years ago, one that left him horribly injured, is dry-eyed and matter of fact. A rail car — not where he expected it to be — rolled over his legs. Then an excruciating crawl to a nearby truck to radio for help. Suddenly, people scrambling everywhere. Sirens. Tourni- quets to stem the rush of blood. An air ambu- lance helicopter to Advocate Christ Medical Cen- ter in Oak Lawn, Ill., where surgeons battled to save his life. His daughter Sarah gently kissing his forehead. Then weeks, months, years of hard-fought re- covery. Fittings for prosthetic devices. Crutches. A wheelchair. Setbacks and frustrations batter- ing his otherwise resilient spirit. Finally, to his great relief, his mobility restored. A good life again at home with his wife, Janet, in a garden setting on a rolling, tree-lined road in Coolspring Township. But when the 67-year-old Dolph begins to describe all that so many people have done for him since July 30, 2008, his voice breaks. His blue eyes turn watery and the complexion of his broad, open face reddens. The acts of caring and compassion can be over- whelming, Dolph explains while apologizing for growing emotional. The outpouring of support is but a small measure of compensation for his suf- fering. “Sometimes, I feel that I’m the richest man in town, as if I’m George Bailey,” he says, referring to the character played by Jimmy Stewart in the 1946 Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Like the fi ctional George Bailey, Dolph was be- set by despair, but came to realize how wonderful his life had become thanks to the generosity of a community of family, friends, medical profes- Jim and his wife, Janet, photographed by The Beacher’s Paul Kemiel sionals and the kindness of strangers. in their Coolspring Township home.
