"I have always believed in the basics and am so glad for that special day in Texas when I came across the person who so described my philosophy. It seems to me that most people want to make excuses for behaviors....none of which truly cure the situation. It was a very refreshing breath of fresh air to hear Madelyn speak."

- Attie Ward, Children's Center for Discovery, Laurel, Maryland
