Bernie is 68 and probably in the oldest 10% of Down syndrome people in the country. So she's been in, I like to think of it, the vanguard of all of this change. She didn't choose to be in the vanguard of all of this change. And my parents didn't really choose to be in the vanguard of all this change.

But they fought in that vanguard to make the changes that have happened. It would have been nice if some of those things had already happened. And I hope that now going forward that there is a better-- that they have a better opportunity for participation in society than they had when Bernie was born.
