Sad news, lp passes away from alcohol poisoning, just a teen too:(.

There were a few online articles on Wayne Hartman, 17, with

the top one being the initial news report of his death and the bottom

one with his pic about 'remembering' him. Very sad, you will cry, as

another one of us is gone.

" District 13 Little People of America conference in Nashville, " no

pics, but a nice article.

Although this is very brief and with no pics, I still thought it was

interesting enough to share, " A cafe staffed entirely by dwarfs,

called Dwarves of the East, has proven a unexpected hit in upmarket

Cairo... "

" Giving all kids swinging chance America's Pastime belongs to all, "

includes this little guy, no pic. " One of his teammates, Sam, suffers

from dwarfism. I thought Sam's participation was great. Why shouldn't

he play? Sam has to take more steps to run to first base than the

other kids. Big deal. He's capable of doing everything just like the

rest of the players. But what was truly great was the reaction of his

teammates. There wasn't any. "

" India's shortest actor makes waves, " in film that had 360 lp's, yup,

you read that right, 360 of us. Included in article are pics of him,

of him and his wife to be, and of him and a few of his lp friends.

" ...South Indian actor Ajay Kumar has surely turned the logic of a

hero on its head.

In his debut feature, Atbhutha Dweep (Wonder Island), Kumar performs

stunts, rides a horse at 45 kph and cavorts with a lover.

The film, with a cast of 360 dwarfs defending their kingdom, has been

a box-office hit.... "

" Chennai's handicapped Sujatha wishes to become a lecturer, " no pic

but inspiring article.

" For many individuals around the world, physical disability is highly

demoralising. But for Sujatha, 31, of Andhra Pradesh, her education

is the greatest weapon to take on life with a head held high with

pride and fight discrimination in society.

Hailing from Andhra Pradesh, Sujatha, works as an insurance agent

with Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) in Chennai's Perambur district.

Time and again, her short stature and physical disability have always

been a reason for her problems... "

Britney Spears' birthday bash for hubby that had 2 female lp's carry

in his cake and 2 others who dressed like Sonny and Cher, gets

addressed by a BBF member, although who I dunno, after some

inebriated guests suggested a dwarf throwing contest, no pics.

" A member of America's Barty Foundation - named after the late

diminutive Hollywood veteran - says, 'It is wicked to hurl abuse at

anyone of diminished height simply because they are small. 'We know

dwarves and midgets who are immense in stature because of their

talent...' "
