George,
I respect you for taking responsibility for your actions and I thank you for your apology.
There are a lot of stereotypes about people with retardation, but the one about them being tolerant and forgiving is largely and happily true. Nice people - quick to tear up, but equally quick to forgive and forget.
Which is what I'm doing right now, George, because the two little girls with Down Syndrome that I adopted so many years ago have taught me how to live and let live, and yes, how to laugh.
Party on.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
