Keebler:

That is interesting cause I never met a person who had dwarfism who never

knew that they had dwarfism.

Did you look into finding out more about dwarfism such as from the web page

of LPA? Not saying there is anything wrong, but its helpful since you never

knew that you had dwarfism to check out a specialist in your area that

specializes with people of short stature?

In our chapter of Little People of America we also have a little boy with EVC

and his parents are of average height. Where to you live? Maybe I can have

her contact you. I will keep your email address just in case.

I live in land. I did speak to one man who had a son with EVC, but I lost

contact. I have never seen another child with EVC. I dont think my daughter

knows that she is a little person. I would like to make contact with other

parents who could possibly help me with some of the questions that I have.

Thanks

Kathy,

You don't mention where you live but there are alot of Parent Groups

within LPA. So giving us a city and state would help us give you direction

Dear Listserv friends,

I just wanted to assure you all that from listening to Kris on the phone when

she called here this morning, that she does sounds genuine and sincere in her

search for friendship. I also understand that their is only so much this list

can do for her, but if some of you just want to drop her a note and assure her

that she is not in this boat alone, then I think that would help her out a great

deal. I suggested the Connections newsletter to her, which I think will

be a great avenue to what she is seeking. Kris may I also suggest to give some

of these other people time to reply, because not everyone has time to catch up

on there email everyday. Just be patient in other words and stay in touch with

those you've already formed a bond with. And just remember you are not out

there alone.

" A friend in need is a friend in deed "

I know that may sound cliché, but ever so true. Boy, I opened a whole

new can of worms with this friend search thing. But please don't give

me any credit for this, because I am benefiting from this too. Keep it

up ok and don't just let it be a passing phase, because you may mean

more to someone out there than you will ever know!

To all the southerners who have come out of the woodwork....

My fiancee is originally from Muscle Shoals Alabama, less than 20 minutes

away from Killen where one of his best friends live. During his entire life

he never met any other LP's in Alabama. Now we're seeing people from

Huntsville, Killen, and Jasper ,TN on this list, it's great. We now live in

New England but we trek down there as often as we can to visit our family and

friends. Maybe someday we should try to all get together, I know that you

can never have too many friends and would love to meet other LP's from

his " hometown " . Take care!
