The Handicapped Coloradan, November 1983, Volume 6, No. 4, Boulder Colorado

A Cartoon and Picture

Top, Cartoon [signature might be Faniul?]: A bus is seen from the rear
and labeled "ACCESSIBLE BUSLINES" and "Dept. of Transportation."

Behind it, tied to the rear bumper is a little kids wagon labeled "Special Transit." In that wagon sits a person with under-the-arm crutches, holding on for his life, and his feet in the air as the wagon bounces along behind the bus. Inside the bus, someone who looks a heck of a lot like President Reagan is saying "Wow! Look at that. He's separate but EQUAL!"

Bottom, photo by Gary Handschumacher: Shot from below looking up into a dark room, a line of people with disabilities facing forward with two microphones on stands in front of them. Mark Johnson, far left, looks on with the mike right in front of him. Beside him is Renate Conrad. Bob Conrad sits next to her and speaks into another mike. Two other people in wheelchairs are on his other side, the farthest one appears to be Mike Auberger.

Caption reads: Mark JOHNSON and Trudy Knutson listen as Bob Conrad tells delegates at the national convention of the American Public
Transit Association that the handicapped will be satisfied with nothing less than 100 percent accessibility to public transportation.
