"Couple Form 'Microboard' To Regulate Daughter's Care"
June 17, 2002

BLOUNTVILLE, TENNESSEE--The following excerpts are from an article published Monday in the Bristol Herald Courier:

"Del Ray and Madeline Nichols don't look like innovators, but that's exactly what they are."

"When they went through the arduous process of forming a corporation, it wasn't to start a venture that would make them rich, it was to ensure that their mentally disabled daughter Joy gets the best of care."

"They stand alone as the first people in Tennessee to form a microboard -- a nonprofit corporation devoted solely to the care of only one person."

"Now, the Nicholses hire their own care providers."
