Good morning Gail,
I wish the ADA had been around 48 years ago when I applied for a badly needed job. I don’t remember how Epilepsy came up, but the second that word left my lips she looked me in the eye and said “We don’t hire cripples” then wadded up my application and threw it away and walked off. Although I don’t remember much, I certainly remember how painful that experience was and how she made me feel after nearly half a century.
Have a wonderful day,
Jake

@jakedduck1- That's just horrible. Back then people got away with saying and doing so much. It was criminal.

@jakedduck1 O how awful! Today she’d lose her job! How did you manage it personally? Me, I would have cried for weeks!
