Doug Flutie Foundation

[Guest guest]

Years ago I was at a Capitol Hill event with Doug Flutie there. The

room was full of staffers wanting his autograph on footballs. That

part was a real riot. When it was all done, speeches and intros began.

When it was his turn he talked a bit about his son. He said, " You

know, I hall this $ and yet my son can't talk. I'd give anything for

that to happen. " Then he stopped and said, " Now I want to talk to all

the parents in the room. " He then compared the Mothers of children

with autism to mother bears. He said, " You all know mother bears

cannot compare to you. " He said, " God help anyone who gets in their

way. " There wasn't a dry eye in the house. msherrett.
