Re: FYI: USNews and World Report (Sue and Kali)

[Guest guest]

Sue and Kali...the email address of the reporter who wrote the story

is gfowler@.... I haven't responded yet, myself, but will

probably do so sometime over the weekend (I NEED the time to think of

a diplomatic and succint approach to my reply). As far as before and

after pics, as suggested by Kali, that is EXACTLY what I did after

speaking with Mr. Fowler. My thinking was that sometimes, pictures

speak louder than words...when one sees a severe case of plagio, how

can you write a story correlating plagio as simply a " cosmetic "

condition? Also, how many of our children are suffering

developmental delays (gross motor, speech, etc...) and/or other

symptomology? It seems as if the majority of us have other related

conditions. I even gave Mr. Fowler this web site as a source of

information. My hope was that he would include it in his article. On

the positive side, as a previous post mentioned, at least word is

getting out...

PS: Sue...how'd it go with the USA Today reporter? I have been

expecting them to contact me, too, but as of yet, haven't heard a

word. Just curious as to what kind of questions they asked you!
