Mary, who works for
the Oklahoma Highway Department, was in a state truck when a passing tractor-trailer's
mirror hit the one on her truck. Shattered glass burst into the cab of
the state truck. But Mary was wearing safety glasses. While she was cut
on the face and neck, Mary's glasses stayed in place. Her doctors said
that her eyes were well protected and that she could have lost her eyesight
if not wearing the safety glasses (from H.L. Bouton Company, www.hlbouton.com.)
