sheltered workshop making toilet brushes! What this lady has done since
is truly inspirational! She has soldiered on to get a University
education! She has earned a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education
and a Master of Education! Her elderly father is a war veteran who can

Penny still helps keep the family going! Now Penny has written an

titled "A Penny for your Thoughts".
