reunion.
The reunion will be a gather-
ing of former patients of the
Texas Rehabilitation Center of
Gonzales Warm Springs Founda-
tion and will oe held at the
Center near Gonzales Suaday,
August 13.
About 350 of the Center's
former patients will return to
TRC on that day to visit with
their physically disabled friends
and to share common exper-1
iences. It will be a strange look- i
ing homecoming because many |
of those attending will be in
wheel chairs or on crutches.
The first annual reunion was
held five years asgo when TRC
•former patients-"met at the Cen-
ter "to organize the Unitd States'
first former patients' association.
The organization has as its goals
benefitting its members, helping
other physically disabled people,
and supporting the program of
the Gonzales Warm Springs;
Foundation.
Victor Canavespi of Bryan,
president of the association and
in a wheel chair because of
paralysis of his legs, said, "Our
big task is pubiic education —
telling our neighbors what we
can do after rehabilitation and
why they should support pro-
grams of rehabilitation for the
physically disabled.
"There are more than 23,000
Texans who need physical re-
habilitation. Ad<? to this the fact
that the Texas Rehabilitation
Center is operating at half-capa-
city because of a lack of funds,
and you'll realize the great need
for rehabilitation in the state,"
he said.
