Jocelyn, 

It was David Cameron and yes, it was quite nice how they showed the family. 

Here is an article on him.

I will admit that I too, did not realize that value of special children's 
lives. I had never known anyone with a cognitive disability; not even Down 
syndrome. 

What a shallow life I had!! I suppose it helps me to understand the need to 
educate. People are ignorant, as I once was. The VP at the hospital once told 
me (when we were all trying to get along) that one of Annie's docs asked, "but 
who would want a child like that anyways? "

That stuck with me.
