My brother, Curt, has no movement below the biceps --- and he's driving in Orlando traffic (even rush hour). If you'd like, I can pass on his phone and you can discuss the van with him and his experiences. The van has made a big difference -- before, he just got used to always having someone with him. Now he has a new freedom to go out and shop, get a hair cut, or just check out the area. And if he wants to, he can check out schools or other opportunities. Being in the US without a car -- just doesn't work. Glad that you responded -- let me know if you want Curt's number. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!363!15!Gail.Schayfer Internet: Gail.Schayfer@f15.n363.z1.fidonet.org
