Debra, To add to the mountains to climb list (or sometimes people just don't think): If I am going somewhere I have never been I usually call ahead to find out if it is accessible and on this occasion the secretary said yes, if I could manage 3 steps. Now I know there are wheelchairs that do steps but they are still rare and mine doesn't. I have also been told I was welcome at a temple [Buddhist, in this case] if I could leave the chair outside. I cannot help but wonder if the answers would have been the same if they saw me but maybe that would not have made a difference. Amy ----- Original Message ----- From: "DIANNE B.
