Donate to Fourth annual five day – 50 mile walkathon, organized by Janice Jackson-Grisham Hi, I am Janice, President of the Springfield chapter of the Nationa… Janice Jackson-Grisham needs your support for Fourth annual five day – 50 mile walkathon

“I know you want me to go to this man and set things straight,” [Gary's father] said quietly. “Son, I can’t do that. He has more money to help you than we can ever hope to give you. I can’t send you to college, but he can.”

"His conclusion was a bitter pill: 'Here is what you do. You follow his rules. And if, after you are done with school and no longer under his thumb, you are still mad about what he said and how he acted, then you do something about it.'"

"'I was deeply disappointed,'" Gary Wunder said. "My protector had been forced to bow before the bureaucracy. It was a profound lesson in the real-world limits of personal strength against institutional power. But in that moment of disappointment, I began to see the Federation in a different light. The NFB’s fight was not merely theoretical; it was an existential battle against officials like Cordell who wielded the state’s purse to enforce their own low expectations and dismissive attitudes. Though it was likely the furthest thing from what he intended, Dan Cordell helped forge me into a committed Federationist."
