DISABILITY ISSUES
Vol. 21 No. 2

Death in the Family

Accent on living, started by Raymond Cheever in 1956, was one of the oldest magazines for the community of people living with mobility-related disabilities. The Information Center has been recommending this publication for many years. It is with regret that we note that Accent has published its last edition this summer.

Mr. Cheever's wife and daughter are no longer able to keep this wonderful little magazine going. We thank them for all the effort they have given over the years. Subscribers will, hereafter, receive Paraplegia News, an even older publication, in place of Accent.

Betty Garee has been editor of Accent for the past 25 years. She is starting a new quarterly magazine called SpeciaLiving that will have the same format and cover similar subjects as Accent has over the years. She has said, "With a prayer and your support, I am confident  SpeciaLiving can be successful and serve your needs for information about special products, entertainment and inspiration that you have come to expect from a magazine for disabled people."

Accent readers will not automatically receive this new publication. To see what Ms. Garee is offering in her new magazine, subscribe, or request a sample issue of SpeciaLiving, by writing to: SpeciaLiving, P.O. Box 1000, Bloomington, IL 61702; or e-mail SpeciaLiving@aol.com.
