Paralympic Practitioners Make Headlines

Everyone,

An article about practitioners in attendance at the Salt Lake Paralympic
Games has appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune. Entitled Village
technicians help athletes with prosthetics, equipment, it is available
free (but only for the next six days) through the Tribute's web site at:

Thanks very much to the Tribune for covering this story, and for giving
the Fund permission to post this message to the entire O&P community.

Chosen by a sub-committee of the OPAF Board of Directors and according
to guidelines established in 1995 in cooperation with Disabled Sports
USA, the practitioners in attendance at Salt Lake represent the ongoing
commitment of the Fund, as well as its community partner Otto Bock
Health Care, to supporting the Paralympic Games. While the Fund
facilitated the practitioner application process, Otto Bock Health Care
arranged schedules and covered room and board for all the practitioners
while in Salt Lake City.

Thanks again to Otto Bock Health Care for offering this fruitful
partnership and to the practitioners for volunteering their time and
their expertise.

With all best wishes,

Jeff
