A stolen cellphone leads to cancelled teeth replacement and eye exam
To the Expositor:
Born with fetal alcohol syndrome in 1937.
And I have had many problems during my lifetime.
I received a letter from the Government about replacing my teeth, plus checking my eyesight.
I was looking forward to both but having my lunch prevented both. In a local restaurant, when leaving my dark area, I forgot my little black phone. I went back and was told “you didn’t leave your phone here.”
It was replaced, but I completely forgot to inform the above until it was too late.
Whoever stole my little phone should be proud of yourselves.
Sincerely,
Shirley Hill

For your information
Shirley was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She may look typical, but she is not. She cannot add, subtract, divide, etc. Growing up with temperature (F) and miles she understood but when changed to metric system concepts were difficult to comprehend. Technology such as microwaves, cell phones or computers are also overwhelming this includes numbers (math).
She taught herself how to drive by observing her husband, and living in the country she was able to practise daily. Failed the first time to get her license but took professional driving lessons and obtained her driver’s license. Drove until 83 years old.
Shirley is somewhat of an artist enjoying sketching scenery or wildlife and of course colouring.
She can be easily upset, does not like argumentative situations and is very trusting of individuals which at times is her downfall. Please be patient.
