Perry Chapdelaine
Perry Chapdelaine was born February 6, 1925 in St. Paul, MN. He received his B.A. at Iowa State Teachers College (now University of North Iowa) in 1946, and his M.A. at George Peabody College for Teachers (now part of Vanderbilt University) in 1947, both majors in mathematics. He taught mathematics at college level in several universities, worked as systems analyst in computer systems design for the U.S. Air Force, and later obtained a nearly half million dollar grant as Senior Project Officer from the National Science Foundation for development of Computer Assisted Instruction, such techniques now commonly found in computers everywhere.
Perry's interest in helping folks began when he developed so-called incurable, crippling rheumatoid arthritis, and was told he would soon be crippled, as his arthritis was of the "galloping" kind. The story on how Perry got well is told in the article: "Rheumatoid Arthritis: Two Case Histories". Through Jack M. Blount, M.D., a co-founder of this foundation, Perry was healed. Along with doctors and other layfolks, Perry helped found The Roger Wyburn-Mason and Jack M. Blount Foundation for the Eradication of Rheumatoid Disease, now called either The Rheumatoid Disease Foundation or The Arthritis Trust of America.
