A request to the group
 
I've been a member for years and while I don't post very often I've enjoyed reading and learning from many of you. I have met several members at Arlington Park over the years and I know that you all help a brother whenever possible. Steve has given me permission to post the link for the mobility awareness website. They are running a contest where a new accesible van is being awarded. My son-in law Steve Herbst is a finalist. Steve was paralyzed in a high school football accident and is confined to a wheelchair. It's inspirational to see how he leads a full life in spite of this. He married my daughter 11 years ago and he is the father of twins. He works full-time and is involved with the kids sports leagues as well as organizations to benefit others in similar situations. Not unexpectedly Steve's condition has worsened lately making it impossible for him to drive his specially equipped van. The newer vans have advanced controls that would enable Steve to once again drive and regain more of his independence. Here's where I need your help. The winner will be determined by votes to the mobility awareness site. I have posted the link. Anyone who can spare a few minutes please click in and cast a vote for Steve. It doesn't cost anything and your help will be greatly appreciated.

Done. I'm also going to post on my Facebook page and I'll see if I can post it on an open thread on one of the political blogs I frequent.

EDIT: Conveniently, the most recent post there was on the new NY driver's license design, so it seemed like a good place to post it. :)
