HELPER AVAILABLE FOR DISABLED TRAVELERS

Charles LaRue of Fries is the regional representative for Travelin' Talk, a year-old information network of people available to assist travelers who have disabilities.

The network was founded by Rick Crowder, a paralyzed veteran in Clarksville, Tenn., and publishes a quarterly newsletter available for any amount people are willing to donate.
