Robert Perske 1928-2016

Sad news, as I/DD advocate and writer Robert Perske recently passed away. For most of his life, he used words to chronicle the best--and the worst--in life for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, it was his actions--as chaplain, administrator, and advocate--that carried farthest his timeless message of compassion and justice for the I/DD community.

The InterHab family is thankful for Bob's efforts and example. We will continue to follow them.
