Adding to the subject of my friend may be an LP: We need an Cerebro

[Guest guest]

This is adding to what Bill said. As the San Diego chapter is trying

to get some representation in So. California, I have often thought

about San Diego being the 8th largest city in the nation. So, if you

think there are 3 million people in San Diego (city), and

achondroplasia occurs 1 in 25,000, there should be at least 120

achons around here somewhere. That's just achons!

I just received the mailing list for our chapter and that includes

about 60 total lapsed and current members, not all of whom are

achons. What happened to all those achons? Also, with all these

random dwarfs I run into around town and in my life, you'd

wonder . . . do they ever or never want to become part of LPA?

I know of someone that worked at the University where I worked who

had SED. We sat on volunteer committees together, coordinated events,

sat in the same meetings, but never talked. At least, she never

seemed as though she was interested in talking. After a while, I

asked a friend of mine about her. It turns out that the woman with

SED had always lived in an average height world, had all AH siblings,

married an AH husband, had AH kids, and never needed anything like

LPA, so she never joined or got involved. I thought, WILD!

If only we had a device like Cerebro on X-Men to track all the LPs to

get them to join LPA.
