Hello dad's,

I am looking to recruit a few guys to fill out responses to 11-12 questions for an article to appear in the next outreach. It will be presented in a similar fashion to the past articles that moms, teens and TBPI's filled out in previous issues. I need 4-5 dads, with one specifically with a TBPI child. If interested, please email me at richard@ubpn.org. I am hoping to get responses from dads with various ages of the kids for a broader perspective. I appreciate your help!

Rich- I emailed you. My husband will help.

I think it is great that you will be doing an article on dads perspectives. If you don't end up hearing back from enough dads, you can surely count my husband in. Hey, it is not the first time I volunteered him for something . As you probably know, our son is 5. Thanks for paying attention to dads, as often they seem to fade into the background....I guess because moms just tend to be more expressive and vocal.

Would be glad to help answer some quesions.

Hi eveyone,

I have had some volunteers from kids mostly under 6, and was hoping to find someone who has a longer perspective, say 12-16 or so. Also I still need a father who has a child with a TBPI, a wholly different perspective than OBPI dads.

Thanks for stepping up to help.

Ashley's dad will be glad to help. She is 20 years old, with a LOBPI.

I can ask Paul, Dustin is TBPI 18 yr old. However it is a more recent injury, 11/2/05. Let me know if that helps. I can ask Paul to fill it out for you.

Rich,
I copied this and sent it to Steve. Maybe he'll participate (if he has time).
