"In the Line of Duty" is the autobiography of Davis Duty, a man from a small town in Arkansas who has led a truly fascinating life. Completely blind from five years old, Davis was determined never to accept his sightlessness as a handicap. He was the first blind child to be mainstreamed in Arkansas public schools and acquired his first Seeing Eye guide dog when he was 17. He earned a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the London School of Economics, where his guide dog's mandatory six-month rabies quarantine captured the heart of the English people and the international press. After graduating from law school, Davis worked under Robert Kennedy in the US Attorney General's Office during the Kennedy Administration in Washington, DC. Upon marrying, he returned to his hometown to join his father in the family law firm, was elected City Attorney and Municipal Judge, and and persuaded the US Supreme Court to permit guide dogs. He was appointed to a Federal judge position in the Social Security Administration and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he raised his family. He eventually returned to private law practice in Arkansas. Davis' rich memoir includes cherished family anecdotes from his childhood during World War II, his adolescence in the 1950s, his four marriages, and family life with his two children. His own story is expanded with a genealogical overview of both sides of his family. Each aspect of Davis' amazing life is described with both great humor and serious introspection. Bonus material exploring his political and theological views and several short stories is included. Rich with over 200 photos spanning a hundred years, this book brings to life a fascinating man so that his family, descendants, and the wider world will know and remember him.
