This issue is dedicated, with love, to the memory of my parents, Frederick and Helene Brash. Mom's passion was brailling textbooks for blind children and making sure that I got the best school experience I could -- admission into public school and acceptance by my peers. Dad's passion was computers, gained during an ICB convention. When he was no longer able to drive, he began to truly understand the daily frustrations that we as disabled people face. I will try to live the values they passed on to me: Christianity, integrity, and determination in the face of trials.
