DEAR ABBY: In response to "Doesn't Look Handicapped," who is walking tall in the Midwest -- I, too, have a handicapped placard. I had a car accident in 1990, breast cancer in 1991 and a heart attack in 1992.
I look OK, and I'm not a whiner.
I have a standard answer for anyone who tells me, "You don't look handicapped." I say, "You don't look ignorant, either. It just goes to prove you can't tell by looking!" -- ST. PETERSBURG, FLA., RETIREE
