'When my son Jon was born with Down syndrome, an official at the hospital asked if we intended to take him home. That was in 1972. Today Jon, who works in the Washington Nationals' clubhouse, is 38 and doing fine because times have changed for the better. But there still is much room for improvement of the public's understanding of the aptitudes and potential of Down syndrome citizens-which, it is well to remember, is what they are. This book, with love shining forth from every picture, will help enormously.' -George F. Will, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author
