"As an aggressive administrator of regional programs and services for youth with handicapping conditions due to disabilities, I could not resist assuming the challenge of Bill's multiple dilemmas as a neighbor to my planned retirement home," Kalinke says, recalling the man who inspired the author to create Dreams not Forgotten, a fictionalized account of their friendship.
