An athlete’s fine example
Bouquets and Barbs
Bouquet
From C.T. Hallgren, Norway:
Bouquets to Alex Ortman of Norway as he prepares to represent the U.S. and Norway, Mich., in Argentina in the 2024 World Deaf Basketball Championships. Bouquets also to his brother, Connor, and his parents for proving that a “handicap” is not the end of the world and showing the world that it can be dealt with many folks not even aware of it! This definitely gives a wonderful example to others who might be trying to adjust or cope.
Bouquets, too, to Sean Chase for the wonderful job he did on the very informative article on this family and event in The Daily News. It definitely sheds light on the good things that are happening in and around us … instead of adding to all the ink that is wasted on reporting on the crime/hatred/violence that is so prevalent in our world.
