Williams Syndrome: Charlotte

by Bob Doman

I just received this video from a very proud mother. Her daughter, Charlotte, is a graduate of NACD and is soon to be a high school graduate with a regular diploma. Louise keeps me in the loop and lets me know how Charlotte is progressing. Ten years ago, Louise wrote an article about Charlotte, and I thought folks would be inspired to see how she has done. I’m very proud of Charlotte and her family who has always helped her and who have had faith in her potential and ability to make a contribution. To know Charlotte is to love Charlotte. She is one super young lady.
