To The Brave And Strong.

Thinking of Lois Curtis today. Remember her resilience and determination. She is deserving of every persons respect. If you don't know who she is, take some time to discover.

Without her, there would be no Olmstead Act protecting the right to freedom. The links below tell her story from many different points of view, including what she did, means to families. There is however, much that still needs to change on the trail that Lois blazed.

Her strength and courage will always inspire me.
She was a Superhero for Invisible Disability Rights and forever, will be.

Thank you Lois.
