Dear Friends, I am so honored to know one of the co-founders of a great non-profit, Brothers Helping Spellers.

Dear Friends, It has been longer than anticipated since my last post! I came down with something, and Tara got it, too. I am all better now, and she is okay, if still tired.

She is returning to Southeast Asia for her conservation work, but is hoping to connect with nonspeaking autistic people and their families in Manila in mid-May.

Dear Friends, I am so proud to share that it has been six years since Tara and I reached fluency in spelling! It has been a very full six years. I can hardly believe all we have done in my personal life and professional, public work. This is beyond my dreams. These years have broughtContinue reading “Six Years”
