February 2010 #BMPR: Morgan’s Wonderland

Imagine a recreational and amusement park where children in wheelchairs can play in the sand with accessible diggers and climb on and off swings with carefree ease. What about a carousel with specially designed animal seats for guests who cannot sit upright? Off-road jeep adventures with accessible vehicles? Gordon Hartman did. Today that $30 million, [...]

Andi says goodbye; two say hello

Hang on to your hats we’ve got good news and sad news. Sad news first: Andi Narvaez, our dear friend and co-founder of SAMPRB, is leaving us. Lucky for her, the move is a good one.
