Kudos to CB and Isles mgmt for making a difference in a special young man's life. A lot of us in all walks of life--especially around the NY area--need a healthy dose of perspective, and I wonder if the joy Todd's job brings to him can match the joy his presence brings to the Isles office.

Seldom, do you see an organization of this scale, embrace such an audacious young man. Great story CB!

We want to thank everyone for their sincere and heart-warming comments. We especially want to thank Chris Botta and the New York Islanders for giving Todd the opportunity to show that despite being handicapped he can make a positive contribution especially in dealing with people. Chris has been an incredibly positive influence on Todd. Chris was responsible for hiring Todd and while with the Islanders, Chris looked out for Todd and always made Todd feel important-that his job with the Islanders was very important. The current staff have taken up that responsibility. We want to thank all employees of the Islanders, past and present, for their honesty and for making Todd feel welcome. The Islanders office has always been a second home to Todd. We want everyone to know that we are indebted to the New York Islanders for taking the opportunity to get to know Todd. There are not many corporations that would take a chance on hiring a handicapped person. Todd works every Thursday at the Islanders office. That is THE special day for him. The staff treats him with respect, invite him to lunch, joke and tease him - he loves that. He feels accepted and he looks at everyone of them as his friends- all of them, past and present. As his parents, his brother and sister, we want to thank eveyone for their wonderful comments and especially to Chris Botta, the Ownership and Management of the New York Islanders and to all employees past and present. To our family, no matter what happens on the ice, the New York Islanders ownership, management and employees are Number One in the NHL and have been for at least the past 14 years.

And I thought I might be the biggest Isles fan alive.... CB thanks for sharing. However BOCES isnt the only program out there providing great work to young adults like Todd. Catherine Laboure Special Ed Program-Operation FUN...provide great assistance. Most of the educators at program like BOCES deserve much praise. Good for Todd!
