Message-ID: <16115@bunker.UUCP> Date: 4 Dec 90 16:06:02 GMT Sender: wtm@bunker.UUCP Reply-To: Earl.Appleby@hnews.fidonet.org Distribution: misc Organization: The Handicap News, Shelton CT (203) 337-1607 Lines: 31 Approved: wtm@bunker.UUCP Index Number: 12199 Hi, I'm Earl Appleby, Jr., co-founder of CURE. I say co-founder because my late father, Earl, Sr., was CURE's inspiration and true founder. Dad died this past September after LIVING nearly 10 years in coma. His courage demonstrated that "dignity" lies in life, especially, life against the odds. I write a column, "Vital Signs," for Human Life Report. The current one consists of my tribute to my father (and an update on an earlier column on the dangers of involuntary DNRs). You can find it in file area 26 (VITSIGN.ZIP). CURE is a nationwide network (like an ECHO?) offering practical and moral support to the infirm, impaired, and aged, endangered by euthanasia . . . hence, CURE (Citizens United Resisting Euthanasia). To find out more about us download CURE.ZIP in file area 26 or get in touch at: CURE; 812 Stephen St.; Berkeley Springs, WV 25411. You can call us day or night at 304-258-LIFE. (Feel free to give our number to those who may need it.) We're always ready to try and lend a hand. After all, as my Dad used to say, that's why God put us here in the first place. In the last place, let me thank Bill, the SysOp of Handicap News, and all of you for the privilege of making you acquaintance. Happy holidays, Earl P.S.--An interesting editorial about Social Security's continued discrimination against the disABLED (I like that spelling), this time, children can be found in file area 17 (SSDISAB.ZIP). -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!Earl.Appleby Internet: Earl.Appleby@hnews.fidonet.org Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
