Very odd, I too had almost no contact with other paras for the first 9 or 10 years I was in the chair. It just seemed like they belonged to some club and I didn't belong. I used to actually avoid ...

I wonder why the Reeve Foundation couldn't act as a 401c for purposes like this? If a grass-roots organization is willing to do all the work and all the Reeve Foundation has to do is make sure tha...

Congrats! You've come to the right place -> a great start in creating a support system!
I think most of us have been where you are and most of us have popped up on the other side. But, for me ...
