60 MINUTES

On Sunday night, February 28, 1999, Steve Mikita appeared on "60 Minutes."
Steve shared his inspirational and motivational perspective of living with a
devastating muscle disease. Steve was shown delivering a speech to a
captivated audience in San Diego, which included lessons taught by his
parents which are "stronger than muscles."

Steve was very pleased with the segment and stated, "This piece demonstrated
that many of us with these diseases are choosing life, not death."  Mikita went
on to say, "It shows the world that we are not living meaningless lives, but
flourishing, despite our ever - weakening bodies. Our spirits and attitudes
transcend the most overwhelming circumstances."

Referring to his interview with Mike Wallace, Steve responded, "It was an
honor and the thrill of a lifetime to meet and discuss my life with one of the
greatest journalists in television history." Mikita stated, "We were
supposed to spend only 30 minutes together, but after an hour and ten minutes
they hadrun out of video tape." Mikita described Wallace as "one of the most
charming and charismatic people I have ever met." Steve said, that "Mike
Wallace is a tenacious interviewer.  But, I found him to be as fair as he is tough.
He truly listened to my responses. He made me feel more comfortable than any
previous interviewer.  I instantly liked him.  One of the greatest memories
for me was that several times during the interview my glasses would slip
down my nose.  Mr. Wallace, without any hesitation, would simply push them
back into place.  Mike Wallace is not only a great interrogator, he is a great
and compassionate human being."
