OLD FORGE, Pa. — A lift and recline chair and an adjustable bed from Golden Technologies will be featured in the latest home building project on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." The episode of the hit TV show, set to air May 3, features U.S. Army Veteran Jeff Cooper of Jamesville, N.C. Cooper, who is confined to a wheelchair due to multiple sclerosis and suffers the effects of Gulf War Syndrome, lives with his wife and two children in a doublewide trailer that is not designed to accommodate someone with a disability using a wheelchair. "Golden Technologies was founded by a U.S. Army Veteran. We also hold the national Veteran's Administration scooter contract for veterans in need of an electric scooter," said Golden marketing manager Patricia O'Brien. "When I heard the story of this family, there was no doubt we would help them."
