Bettina,
Welcome back; I'm Kendall, 44, married to Janet (we both have CP), and
a coordinator of disability activities at Wyoming's only 4 year
university.
Kendall Corbett
An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
