The Steadfast Tin Soldier (The disabled would be happiest 'with their own kind')
With an Addendum: in that post, I mention I wheelchair using guy that often came 'round my college (his mother worked in Admissions, iirc), and that rumor had it he had recently been an actor with Tom Cruise in Born on the Fourth of July, which had just come out.
At the time, he was studying for his fourth attempt at the Bar, to become a lawyer.
... After I wrote my post, I decided to look him up on IMdB.com, to see if I could recognize his name, and if he had, in fact, been in the movie. Sure enough, "Paraplegic #1 (Miami bar)" was listed has having graduated from a Newburgh, New York high school... And this guy was a Newburgh native. So there, I was reminded that his name was Kevin (McGuire).
And from there, I Googled him.]
Turns out, he's got his law degree now, and is CEO of his own company, as a consultant for corporations on ADA law.
Good on ya, Kevin!
(I still doubt we would have been a "good couple," even if we do both use wheelchairs).
