BATESVILLE, Miss. — Swinging from the monkey bars at the Cave City Elementary playground, a young Jessie Stitcher probably wouldn’t have guessed he’d one day be swinging high above a crowd full of celebrities in a Hollywood theater. Or that he’d be rubbing elbows with dark rocker Ozzy Osbourne or actor and director Quentin Tarantino. From climbing roofs to waterskiing and roller-skating, Stitcher can do things that some people can’t. He can also do things that a lot of people can. He just does it all without half a body.
