Well put Gerry.My best friend at University had an accident in 1979 which 
broke his neck and left him quadriplegic. He was hugely disabled but after a 
year on a heart/lung machine learned to breath for himself through a 
permanent tracheotomy it had a flap valve so he could speak.He regained his 
fantastic sense of humour and he was a brilliant man. He absolutely hated 
being talked down to and we had lots of fun together over the years, 
discussing engineering ideas. He designed yacht fittings on a CAD system 
using a mouth stick. Slow but never daunted.He sadly passed away following 
breathing difficulties just after a fantastic 60th birthday celebration 
arranged by his wife and 2 children.I miss him.Frank D

 This is from my trip to the US in 2001 and was taken on the Ellis Island 
Ferry using the Leica M6 and TX400CN:

I thought long and hard about posting this image, and finally came to the 
conclusion that less able-bodied people are a part of our society and that 
this shows a caring relationship and inclusion in the world.
