[AT] Portland Handicap Permits

[charlie hill]

Walt do you know what generally means?  You are a specific case not a 
general case.  A friend of mine just retired after years of selling 
hoveround.  I can tell you for a fact that the vast majority of what he sold 
were prescibed by a doctor and paid for by medicare or an insurance company. 
In fact they didn't even want to talk to folks that didn't have a 
prescription for the scotter.
