Tim Benjamin, Editor

We have a legislative success story!  The Brain Injury Association (BIA) was fortunate to have their bill passed and funded.  With so much negative to report on from the Legislature this last session we thought it would be a good idea to spotlight a positive note.  The BIA wanted us to list all the names that were a part of the success; needless to say the list was very long and we couldn’t make room for it, but the BIA thanks all of you . .

Mental Illness/Brain Disorders

The Quality of Mercy

by Peter Feigal

There was a woman in my therapy group at Hennepin County Day Treatment who was one of the kindest and most insightful people I’ve ever met.  Sue was comforting and compassionate to everyone in the group and we all loved her.  She saw to the heart of every issue.  She could speak not only in the language of the rational, but also the poetry of the heart.  Except when she spoke of herself and her own pain. . . .

Come Collect Your 4.5 Million

by Ellen Houghton

Before pulling out of the race, Ross Perot estimated he had spent $10 million on his bid for the presidency.  Even more surprising to me was that he had been prepared to spend $100 million.  Thinking about this made me realize there may be an individual “out there” who might be the perfect person to guide us through all the turmoil we currently have in our world, but, ironically, he probably couldn’t afford to let us all know he exists!  . . . .
