Seeking entertainment and social contact, an Orange County resident has discovered a musical vocation.
Charles Reighn sustained a work-related injury that was so severe, doctors said he would never walk again. He slowly regained his ability to walk after months of rehabilitation, but the Middletown resident was still homebound during his recovery.
His nurse thought he needed a social outlet, so in February of 2014 he joined Sunshine Adult Day Care in Newburgh.
Reighn soon participated three days a week in some of Sunshine’s programs. He got more involved with music and discovered that he had a talent for singing.
Under the guidance and encouragement of Tammy Ryan, the daycare company’s regional manager, Reighn found he could sing karaoke. His burgeoning vocal skills got the attention of Debbie Major.
