Friends,

I don't know how to word this because I don't want to make this public
information yet or to have it get to the Prentke Romich Company somehow
because its going to be a surprise and a thank you for what they have done
for me in my life.  But as you know, my parents and I are big supporters of
assistive technology and especially communication devices after seeing how
it has helped me personally.  We're planning to celebrate this fact by doing
a painting of my communication devices and myself, which I'm excited to do
for a encourager to continue the research, development and therapies to help
people with disabilities live as great of lives as possible.  Tomorrow,
we're going to meet with the artist to discuss what I would like on the
painting, which I know about 90% of what I want.  I'm hoping that you can
help me decide the last 10%.  As I think you know, my long term goal is to
get more and more people with disabilities sitting at the "research table"
(paid positions to sit there) to tell us what has or hasn't worked in
devices or whatever.  On my painting, I want to symbolize this dream by
having a white cloud.  The question is what would be proper to put in it
because I'm thinking of a person in a wheelchair shaking hands with another
person to symbolize forming a partnership to figure out the answers.

Thanks,
Anthony
