I was reading the AP article written by Jim Fitzgerald about Cardinal
O'Connor's funeral and got to this part:

"A one legged boy, 8-year-old Alexander Garrett, propped himself up on his
crutches and stood clapping in the aisle as the casket went past."

Is it me, or did this guy totally miss the disability awareness segment in
journalism school?

Hi Betty,

Perhaps he went to the Charles Dickens School of Journalism and this scene
reminded him of Tiny Tim propping himself up on his single crutch to say
"God bless us, everyone!"
<grin>
