Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Read liz's email are inclusive sites and had to add my .02cents (USD) . First heard Norman when Elie was 5 - and I thought he just was " severely affected by DS " >!!! I sat in the front row and watched as Norman lurched from side to side walking back and forth as he spoke - being afraid he would fall in my lap at any moment. But he didn't. And my fear left as I became involved in what he said about his struggles to convince his school that despite his use of a w/c and his awkward mobility, his brain was alive and needed feeding. He has become my ideal of a man who looks at his disability as an opportunity to reach people - he certainly reached me. Look for his speaking engagements. Plan to attend at least once!! -- Sara - Life is a journey- we choose the path. Quote

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 I hated to name his " disability " because it is so little a part of him - in my eyes. > Hi Sara, > Norm Kunc has CP.
