Most wind chimes PG> placed low ... readily observed b and children PG> a Japanese garden ... enter into it. fragrant pines Could other people please comment and add your remarks. On your idea for a seminar to newly handicapped people. In my opinion the hansicapped also include the parents of disabled people, the recently bereaved/ divorced/ fired ... The medically handicapped will probably feel awkward appearing in public. They may have disabilities that make physical attendance very hard. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!3!714!404.0!Greg.See-Kee Internet: Greg.See-Kee@p0.f404.n714.z3.fidonet.org

Index Number: 7045 I read with interest your remark that the physically disabled are rarely seen out and about. On occasion, I've wondered if some separatism might not be a good idea. Are there any resorts especially built to accommodate various disabilities? In Southern California, we had one developer who built a whole neighborhood of housing specifically for dwarfs. Everything was designed with that specific group in mind. It was a great hit. A lot of those people said they'd never felt so comfortable in their home before. I wonder if this idea would fly with other groups? -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!202!501.0!Chita.Cazares Internet: Chita.Cazares@p0.f501.n202.z1.fidonet.org
