I've never been to Cape Girardeau but i have a friend going to SEMO there.
Oh, your son has autism? how old is he? i work with 3 families between the range of 10- 18 years old and i love it but it can be quite a challenge at times lol. My fiance and i actually live in O'Fallon MO, but are going to move into a condo this summer closer to the city (st. Charles) I'll be going to UMCL in a few years. I haven't met ONE person from Missouri with BPI until now! I felt like it was such an uncommon injury that only a few people had it and they all lived far away lol.

Janny,
I'm coming to Scotland either next year or the one after that. I've always wanted to go there.Wish I could manage it sooner. But I'll look you up when I go---or you can find me---I'll be in all the castles!
