We spent a glorious 11 days in Scandinavia (August 28 - Sept.
8). We attended the World Congress on Rett Syndrome in Göteborg,
where Queen Silvia of Sweden spoke. She walked right past us twice,
so we were able to get this great close-up photo on 9/1/96. (Also
see our photos of Queen Elizabeth, taken
in 2002!) |

Also attending the conference were some terrific Aussies, Bill
Callaghan, the president of the Rett Syndrome Association of Australia,
and Dr. Helen Leonard, Researcher Extraordinaire. It was great
