I just want to take a moment to thank Karen McClune, UBPN Camp 2005 Coordinator for all her hard work on making this camp happen. She is working night and day, volunteering her time as all of us on the Board of Directors do, and doing all she can to ensure that each and every person coming to camp has a wonderful experience.
More thanks are coming but I wanted to let you all know publicly about how much I appreciate her.
Nancy Birk
UBPN President

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Thank You Karen McClune
Ditto to Carolyn J's words. Plus I bet that all of you board members sometimes wonder if the rest of us appreciate all your hard work, time and effort, especially at camp time..Well, we do !!! Please all of you, pat yourselves on the back and accept a great big thank you. We can hardly wait to see all of you again and now it is just a few short weeks away.See you soon, Lou { ED, too}
