Location: ???

I am 32 years old, with mild spastic Cerebral Palsy. My mother had Rubella 7 months before I was born in 1964. I was main streamed in 1970, at a time when no children with special needs were part of the regular school system. Three years ago, I put a classified ad in the local newspaper in San Jose, California, USA. I only received one response, but that was all I needed. My ad read, "SWM with mild Cerebral Palsy". Seven months ago, that woman became my wife. Carolyn also has mild Cerebral Palsy. We live in Gilroy, California. She teaches preschool special ed (she has 5 autistic preschoolers) and early childhood development at the local community college. I have a master's in library science, and do technical support for a software company in Monterey that has a program which automates school libraries.

I have two e-mail addresses: billbowman@sprintmail.com and bbowman@mhss.com.

Before I go, has anyone read anything by Christopher Nolan? He's an Irish author, about my age, with severe Cerebral Palsy but has published two books so far. I haven't heard anything more about him for at least five or six years. If you have any information, or would just like to write, I would like to hear from you.
