RESOURCES:

Hi All, It is time for me to reduce the amount of time I have been involved with disability advocacy, and enjoy retirement. Will be posting again, but right now I have to deal with issues in own life. - Will be posting again from time to time. It has been a privilege reporting over the last years on disability issues, and with over 2 million views has been a humbling experience . TY Jim Watkins
