I was asked Friday afternoon to participate in an interview and photo shoot for the Tucson Daily Star. They are putting together an article about our issue, the Attendant Care Program closure. On Friday, the reporter had interviewed the staff of the Union and a small number of attendants. In asking me, they also wanted my care giver Jerry present. As he is also the Vice President of the union, they hope use the two of us an example of what is at stake. I was nervous but prepared. This morning, only the photographer arrived, along with Carolyn Trowbridge to make sure it all went well. Apparently the reporter felt she did not need my input. Jerry had been questioned at the union on Friday. But we did what we could, putting together a few posed pictures of how he helps me with my daily care. I printed out a copy of my letter, the revised version sent to Alan Shaffer, for the reading pleasure of the reporter. I hope she has read it.

So, Tuesday morning, there will be some sort of article in the Tucson Daily Star. I have no idea how it will turn out but I hope for the best.

Let me know what you think.
