In 1995, at the age of 41, [Denise] Neal was diagnosed with the most severe type of multiple sclerosis. She lost her ability to play the violin a year later. From her bed and wheelchair, she remains active and involved while living a full, stimulating life.
In August of this year, Neal arranged a reunion in Dallas of the acclaimed 1970 Bryan Adams National Honors Orchestra, and more than 80 alumni attended. “I credit Facebook and the help of many friends for the event’s success,” she said. “It was one of the best things I ever did!”
