These elements contributed to a positive and inclusive atmosphere at the event.

This reminds me of a nice harness device that I saw for the first time at an "Abilities Expo" when I was working a medical standby shift at the San Jose Convention Center a few years ago.

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up.
It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
