Hello and how many of you folks remember the little boy Ryan White, that I think was one of the first kids to contract the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion if I recall correctly? I remember a little about him, what a fighter and admire him, as he was taken from the world way to soon.


let me know how many of you folks remember this story and about him

Yup. In fact, they had his mother on the news just before Christmas as it would have been his 30-th birthday at the time. Sad story, but it's good to see how much progress we've made since then.

Thanks Quattro Pete, and yeah, it is very amazing the progress thats been made since 1982.

Having watched how the so-called "mature, educated parents" and school officials treated him from the beginning of his saga, it's a constant reminder that alot of people (even today) preach one thing and practice another.

Yes Dkryan, that is true also.
