Finding an artcle...

[andrewsmom]

Hi guys!!! ;D

I was wondering if anyone could help me find an article I was reading. I was reading this wonderful story of a woman with DS that was graduating from college. She was on a swim team...she actually could swim before she could walk. At four years old, she would give the others kids a head start in the pool before she would jump in ....and she would still win.

Well......right in the middle of reading, my electricity went out. It was only out for a minute but when it came back on, my computer had to restart itself and I lost the artcle!!! I had originally found it by accident...you know..a link from a link from a link. I tried to put all kinds of words in my "search" but I can't find it. Anybody ever read it...or know where to look to find it again? I'd appreciate any help.

Dunno. Can't identify what you were reading, but do let us know if you find it.
You could have been reading something about Kate Bartlett. She's a swimmer and a college student. She testified before Congress in Oct. See
www.ndss.org/content.cfm?fuseaction=NwsEvt.Article&article=1497
And is one of the first recipients of those O'Neill/Tabani grants, www.ndss.org/content.cfm?fuseaction=NDSS.article&article=1336
Think we also still get to see her from time to time as the little girl Katie on Sesame Street.
Kinda cool.
But you may have been reading about someone else. Wish I knew. -- Bob

Trisha, If you go to the top icons when you open explorer, go to history, then you should be able to find it.
