ADAPT (1778)
Wade, in an ADAPT T-shirt with the old no steps logo, rests a hand on the chair of Gary. Beside him is Molly in a red version of the same ADAPT shirt. Beside her is Tisha Auberger (?) and Brook Ball is standing beside her in a blue tank top and yellow pants. Mel Conrardy is sitting back to the camera in the foreground and just in front of him, leaning forward is Ken Heard (both in wheelchairs.) Behind the group is a pink graffitied trailer. Everyone is looking to the left of the frame.
ADAPT (1768)
Wade Blank, back to the camera, shakes hands with Denver Mayor Webb as Ida Unsain, Atlantis nurse, looks on. In front of them Mike Auberger is sitting in his power chair, and behind them Brook Ball is talking with Robin Stephens (you can only see her legs.) They are in the Atlantis office on Broadway. This is the office that was raided by the FBI when someone said Mike Auberger and Wade's daughter Heather Blank were making bombs in the basement. The accusation was so patently absurd the FBI finally wrote Atlantis a letter of apology.

Colorado Springs Sun PHOTO (Sun / Mary Kelley): A high level quadriplegic (John Folks) in a motorized wheelchair is tipped back onto his rear wheels by two uniformed officers. His mouth control for driving his chair is in his mouth, his long black hair is held in a headband, and a suitcase-type box is strapped to his lapboard. Another uniformed officer and a plain clothes officer look on from a short distance. Behind them a group of protesters sit in a parking lot. Most are in wheelchairs but Brook Ball sits on a cement block. Caption reads: Police arrest John Folks during a protest by a group of disabled people at the McDonald's Restaurant on North Wahsatch Avenue Friday afternoon. [Headline] 11 Arrested in Protest By Ken Western Eleven protesters – 10 of them confined to wheelchairs – where arrested Friday by Colorado Springs police after they blocked the entrances to a downtown McDonald’s Restaurant. The arrests were the second in two days for some members of the Denver-based Access Institute, which contends that McDonald’s discriminates against the disables by failing to provide complete access to all of its restaurants, tables and restrooms. Denver police arrested seven protesters Thursday in a similar demonstration by the group outside another McDonald’s Restaurant. A spokesman for McDonald’s defended the company’s efforts Friday to provide access to the disabled, particularly in restaurants build since the late 1906s and in the remodeling of older buildings. The nearly two-dozen protesters, who arrived in vans from Denver, began blocking entrances to the restaurant’s parking lot, 207 N. Wahsatch Ave, at 12:15 pm. Four entrances and the drive-through lane were closed for about an hour, with most vehicles exiting through the alley behind the restaurant and, in one instance, driving off a curb. Each entrance was blocked by two to three wheelchair-bound protesters, some holding signs that read “Discrimination Hurts Everyone!!!” and “How Can I Enjoy An Egg McMuffin When I Can’t Get To The Tables?” Leaflets also were passed out urging patrons to boycott the restaurant “to show that you want us to have the right to each with you.” Police began arresting protesters after they blocked the east alley in the 200 block of North Wahsatch Avenue, charging 11 people with obstructing or interfering with traffic. Under an agreement with the Access Institute, police arrested those protesters who wanted to be bookeds in an apparently symbolic protest.
