His sister Anne adores him. She understands how she benefitted from growing up with him. Yet when she learns she is pregnant and a carrier for his rare genetic condition, she has a heart-wrenching decision to make. Anne Martin Powell worked for four decades in the fields of special education and developmental disabilities. Now retired, she enjoys relaxing with her family, taking long walks with friends, and creating beautiful objects with fabric or stone.
