Weems, a 15-year-old with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,
had never left his hometown of Athens, Ga. In the summer
of 2005, he and a group of buddies traveled across the
country in a wheelchair-accessible RV to test accessibility
in America. Along the way, they found joy, brotherhood,
and the knowledge that life, even when imperfect, is
always worth the ride.

of the Trade

committee reviewed more than 20 logos submitted by a variety
of talented artists, whose names were withheld until after
the vote. In December the committee unanimously selected the
winning design submitted by Collins Digital Imaging.
