This piece, found in The Oregonian, was so very encouraging. The future is bright indeed.

I met Linnae just this afternoon and I assure you she's quite an amazing woman.
Here's my favorite quotes:
"I play a girl who has Down's Syndrome."
"I can see the things that no one else can."
"The only label I'll accept is extraordinary."
"I just HAD to be myself."
"I have a life."
"I LOVE EVERYTHING."
I think the last one says it all. What a wonderful attitude to go through life with. It's very inspiring, personally. I used to have the privelege of having a lot of good times with kids with Down's and let me tell you, they look like they're having waaaay more fun than the rest of us. =)
