Doug has also worked twenty plus years at Publix Supermarkets as a model employee, is an avid traveler who has been to countless cruises, a video game enthusiast, a wannabe sailor, a singer, dancer, and all-around showman. He has touched the lives of people who have been fortunate enough to have met and befriended him. Doug is also a high-functioning young man with Down syndrome. This book chronicles Doug's adventures but also tells of a unique individual who is always outspoken, charming, and has a strong desire to be independent. By sharing Doug's story, the author-Doug's father, Gary Fry-hopes to give inspiration and courage to families who have a person in the family with a disability and to educate those who do not understand people with disabilities. That in the end, the best way to help someone with a disability is to be a very patient coach, teacher, advocate-and friend.
