Re: Naperville Residents: City Council Mtg Wednesday night

[Guest guest]

Sounds wonderful for Naperville! I know you have worked so hard in your

community, so congrads to you, Miz Laurie.

I wish Flossmoor was willing.....I purchased a new dishwasher this morning

(DON'T ASK!) and the salesman told me about his nephew with autism and the

struggles his brother and family were having....to promote awareness shouldn't

be hard......should it?

Anyway, how about a book review? This book you are quoting sounds interesting. I

often thought it would be a good idea to having a cyber " book club " exclusively

with on books disability issues. If you do your book review, I'll do a review

about the book I've recently read about disability and pain. Game?

Sure, I'm game on the book review idea, although I'd better do it quickly

because I'll forget what I read otherwise!

Maybe later this week.
