William "Bill" Bussear initially ventured to
Cuernavaca, Mexico in 1962 after a diving
accident in Hawaii while serving with the
Marines left him a C5, C6 quadriplegic. He
fell in love and married a Mexican girl
named Thelma del Carmen. After the wedding, Bill took
his young bride to Central Michigan. They
entered college, taught school in California
for 25 years and then returned to
Mexico. They always dreamed of opening a
place for wheelchair veterans somewhere in
the beautiful tropical regions of Mexico. In
December of 2005, their dream came true!
They renovated 2 1/2 acres of beachfront
property, and created a wheelchair
accessible resort in Isla Aguada, Campeche, Mexico
with 300 feet of gorgeous beach on the
Laguna de Terminos.
