Still need information about computer camps for handicapped child

[Andy Pitts]

I want to thank all who responded to this.  I tryed to send a note to everyone
who responded, but some of the mail bounced.

Linda Collins, the social worker in charge of the case asked me to post
the following for her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to thank all of you who responded to the request for information
on summer computer camps for the 14 year old dialysis patient.  There were
19 replys from 19 wonderful people who provided invaluable information on
many camps which looked appropriate.  A special thanks goes to Carol Boyer
who not only responded via computer but responded personally to this social
work via telephone.  Susan Finkelman also went above and beyond the call of
duty.

Unfortunately, it was decided in a meeting with the boy, his mother and the
physician that it would be better for him not to go this year.  It is
likely, however, that he will be up to going next year and we are already
looking into the possibilities.  There is a 4-H camp in Reidsville, N. C.
which is quite close to our medical center (and his doctor) which looks
appropriate if they offer it next year.  If not, we now have a wealth of
resources to turn to.  Also, there is a dialysis camp in Winder Ga. that
accepts dialysis patients and even has computers, though it is not the
focus of the camp.

I wish you could have seen the patients face when he was presented your
computer mail and he found out he was the subject of a national network of
computers.  He will get hours of enjoyment deciphering all the coding.

Again, thanks to all of you who responded.  God bless you all.  You too,
Andy.
