For some reason the Rose and Crown review cut off for me before the end. I'm pretty sure how it ended anyway.
Skip, great article. TFS! I know it's not an excuse, but I remember being a young nursing student and feeling completely caught off guard by people that had varying disabilities just because it was new to me. Thankfully they were patient with me and I learned a lot from them. Not everyone is being a jerk, sometimes they are just nervous because it's something new to them and they are afraid of the unknown. I know it gets old educating everyone, but it's important and hopefully it will trickle down so that some day everyone has a clue.
And I hope the author realized that lady at the bar was SO hitting on him!
