Subject: Meeting with Stephen Hawking

Hi All,

I had the pleasure of being one of the lucky ones to meet with Stephen
Hawking, plus got to hear him speak at his "Space & Time Warps"
lecture yesterday.  Let me tell you, I'm amazed at what he can do and
what he's accomplished, in spite of his challenge with ALS.  He's such
a great role-model and a very inspirational person.  I don't know what
else to say, except that Dr. Hawking left me speechless...

See how special we all are to be part of DO-IT and get wonderful
opportunities like this?  After all, these things don't happen
everyday.

Thanks DO-IT!
