Acknowledging the positive is just as important as publicising the negative.<br /><br />I also applaud the National Ballet for their fast and effective response to a very real issue.<br /><br />Well done all involved.Gary Millerhttp://www.the-dogs-blog.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-9743274669624768302009-12-31T01:48:21.705-05:002009-12-31T01:48:21.705-05:00sorry Dave that this isn't relevant to this po...sorry Dave that this isn't relevant to this post.

I can well imagine that, for you, seeing Ruby's response to the ballet was the star attraction. To be robbed of that is heartbreaking. Although it is good to see that there has been a quick response, I cannot think that anything will compensate you for that loss. <br /><br />Your experience made me think of a phrase that Catherine Frazee uses "precarious citizenship". People with disabilities are often on the edge of losing all that goes with citizenship, including the simple pleasure of being with a child of your family in her first delightful encounter with ballet. Thank you Dave for taking them to task about this. I am sorry that you had to.<br /><br />ColleenColleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-43569036793121369642009-12-30T17:32:19.798-05:002009-12-30T17:32:19.798-05:00I am so glad they are trying to rectify their prob...I am so glad they are trying to rectify their problems and that they truly seem to recognize the seriousness of the issues.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-67896882724223969302009-12-30T14:54:19.934-05:002009-12-30T14:54:19.934-05:00Bravo Dave!!

You handled the situation with grace, when others would have caused an inappropriate disturbance.<br /><br />Bravo to the Nation Ballet for being so open to rectify the situation!!! <br /><br />Happy Holidays to you & yours!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143684081708384023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-51545339094234408972009-12-30T13:58:49.061-05:002009-12-30T13:58:49.061-05:00It's great that they're moving so quickly ...It's great that they're moving so quickly on this. It's always gratifying to be heard and taken seriously, particularly when so often these things don't happen for people with disabilities.<br /><br />It's positive that they recognize this as a "grave" problem, and not just an "inconvenience."Andrea S.http://wecando.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-55611884289419141192009-12-30T12:58:22.775-05:002009-12-30T12:58:22.775-05:00Dave, I am a brand new reader to your blog, I have...Dave, I am a brand new reader to your blog, I have just read the entire month of December.
