PRC_Bernadette commented on Frederick A. Fay, forceful activist for rights of the disabled, dies at 66
I first "met" Fred Fay at Bill Clinton's disability Innaguration breakfast. He spoke via telephone and talked of disability rights, and continuing to move forward. Within the year I talked to Fred on the telephone every few moths. I interviewed him for an article on the 10th anniversary of the ADA. Other times, we just connected to share ideas, and to work on a variety of committees. Imagine my surprise when I learned that Fred spent his day in a motorized bed, using mirrors and a computer to control the world around him. Fred was a kind, gentle and driven man who did not let his disability stop him. Please take a look at this clip of the Fred Fay Story--A Tribute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWFm_DV_DY&feature=share
