Dear Friends, I am so thankful to you for your warm congratulations on my citizenship. I had a wonderful celebration with family and friends in our new back yard.

Dear Friends, Well, there is much to be disheartened by. The passage of that bill is so disappointing. Not surprising, but still disappointing. I am so sad and upset over it. It represents so much of what is wrong with this country, and its implications will be disastrous for many, including disabled people. So thatContinue reading “Happy Fourth of July”
