| As you know, life after a TBI is very different than before. I sustained my TBI in a car accident in 1979. Since then I have worked extremely hard to make my life better and more productive. My goal still remains, to raise awareness of this silent epidemic and to share my book and other experiences with those who can benefit from it.

| One of my favorite stories regarding my short stature is about a man I encountered while Christmas shopping with some friends in Marshall Field's. He looked like an African dignitary (nice suit with medals, flanked by secret service types) and stared at me in wonder. Later I found out he asked one of my friends, "What tribe is she from?" Apart from the occasional rude stares, though, people are generally very nice to me. I especially like meeting kids and explaining my short stature to them. I figure if they are taught early, they will be more accepting of others as adults.
