I am attaching a photo from the Medinah Family Picnic at Brookfield Zoo, 08-19-06. The young lady in the picture with me is a security person at the Zoo, Tabaitha K.. As my wife, mother-in-law & I were entering the dolphin show, as she took our ticket she said "I love Shriners, if it wasn't for the Shriners, I would have been in a wheel chair all my life." After the show I went back and spoke to her. She was one of the first patients to have the bone in her leg extended by the doctors, in our Chicago Shriners Hospital. I can not tell you how great it made my family and me, to hear her story and how grateful she was to the Shriners.
