Bill update!

Bill says: "I don't know when but me going to have art show. Look on my website if you have time and we will keep it updated."

Also, Bill wants me to write that he will be participating in Partners in Policymaking, a conference and series of workshops training people with developmental disabilities to self-advocate with legislators. Of the many, many people that applied, only about 30 were selected to go, so this is a really impressive honor. Check it out!

If you want to go with him, Bill says to let him know. Call first.

Hoedown!

When Bob was a high-schooler, he used to (sometimes) attend the Lombard School at Hayes and Pierce Streets in San Francisco.


Except when there was a baseball game that was more fun than being in school.


Then, Bob would WALK to "the Stick," about 7.5 miles away (including a stint on the freeway) to watch the Giants play.

Bill and Bob are going to Utah for Katie's wedding from November 3-5.

Bill would like everyone to know that this April is the 30th anniversary of when he participated in the Section 504 sit-in at the Federal Building in 1977. Section 504 is the legislation that guarantees access to federally-funded programs, spaces, and services to people with disabilities - including schools, buildings, and employment. The sit-in lasted 26 days and was the longest occupation of a government building at that time (and possibly since). It was a peaceful and effective protest for the rights of people with disabilities. Bill was one of about 75 people there for the whole 26 days. (Wow.)
