Mentally retarded adults arc not a priority in this stale or anywhere else for that matter. With a great Deal of determination and a lot of Luck we found him a part Lime Job in a super Market. This would not have been possible without the help of the compassionate understanding woman who is the store manager and inc enlightened policies of giant food in the washing ton d.c., area. This Job Means so much Loben. He gels his clothes ready the night before so he can get out the door first thing in the morning. He is serious about arriving on Lime and his record is excellent. Ben s Job is to Load groceries into customers cars and keep inc shopping carts in order. He tries so hard to be careful and not drop anything. And he always Waves goodbye to every customer. He knows exactly what to do but sometimes it lakes him a couple of minutes longer to Load up a car than it might Lake a Normal person.-. I m writing to you with inc Hope that you will Prim this Teller. To those who have smiled at Ben or have said you did a Good Job i want to say  you have done More for a wonderful Young person and people ii pc him than you i ii Ever know. ". --.-.

We decided the Best thing to do was to say nothing. Was that inc proper thing to do some friends said that they would have left the place at once. What do you say appetite loss . Dan Lryni a better Way to Hare handled it would have been 10 go quietly in the manager and Tell him or her. The Basket would have been replaced Al once. You did the right thing by keeping the incident to yourselves. It would have been extremely rude to have called attention to the Creepy Crawler. You would surely have spoiled the dinner for la others and embarrassed your Host. Darann Landers. You quoted an authority who said turning off lights saves on the electric Bill. True but when you figure the Wear and tear in the bulb it s a Wash with electronic devices such As tvs and comp ices tic Start up takes away from one to four hours of life from the unit.
