The clock was made for last
spring’s Handicap Awareness
week, a time dedicated to help-
ing create not only awareness, but
understanding for the disabled,
he said.
Sullivan said the first thing
most people discover is that pass-
ers-by will not meet the eye of
those in wheelchairs. He said
many of those people who do not
look often are just embarassed.
But some also think of the
handicapped as less than whole
persons. Such information is not
limited to those whose limitations
can be seen, for many people feel
that dyslexics have mental limita-
tions as well, he said.
“It does not mean that you are
retarded, or even stupid. Many
see it as something to be ashamed
of, they are afraid of what their
friends and peers might think,”
Sullivan said. “Many dyslexics are
introverted because of that.”
Like other dyslexics, Sullivan
found out about his learning dif-
ference before he entered the
first grade, he said. Actually, Sul-
livan found out because he did
not get into first grade, he said.
“I flunked kindergarten,” he
said. “No one flunks kindergarten
so we knew something was wrong.
“I just was not grasping the ba-
sic things that I should have
been.”
Sullivan underwent tests which
eventually determined there was
nothing wrong mentally, he was

As the sun began to sink, the
temperature lowered and the
crowd heated up. Dub Factor
launched into their set of ‘cosmic
reggae’ and concertgoers began
dancing on the grass in front of
the stage as well as on the stone
benches.
A woman danced with her
small child held snugly in her
arms. Another joined a group of
friends in a swaying sort of em-
brace. One man danced alone,
apparently content to enjoy the
music and the moment by
himself.
Groove Fest organizers had ob-
tained permission from the Parks
and Recreation Department to
use the facility, but the Norman
Police Department cited an ordi-
nance which would prevent the
concert from lasting past sunset.
Time was running out as the final
two bands played with only the
light of four dim street lamps, a
temporary stage light and the
moon.
Although the concert ran be-
yond schedule, the police allowed
the Groove Fest to continue. Aml-
nesty coordinator Allen Hailey
was surprised and pleased.
“I’m just glad that all the bands
had a chance to play,” he said.
With that, the lights were
dimmed and Hailey wandered off
into the darkness to pick up trash
with the other Amnesty
volunteers. •,
