James P. Ward III Al Alberts Showcase Clips

Date: 2015-12-28

These are (2) video clips of my brother, Jimbo, on the Al Alberts Showcase TV show in the mid 1980's.   When Jim was born, my parents were told that he should be kept in a home, that he would never walk, talk, or lead anything close to a normal life.  Today is his 55th birthday.  He has participated in the Special Olympics in both equestrian and bowling, he has sung the national anthem at the Special Olympics; been a boy scout (my father started the first boy scout troupe for Mentally Handicapped kids in history); and he held a job as a custodian.  I guess the moral of this story, is do not ever underestimate the determination, and dedication,  of two amazing parents You will lose every time.
