I used to live in their hometown. My roommate in the 90s and 00s was friends with them. I never met them myself, but saw them in passing at the mall near where they lived.

They had a hard time getting transportation back then, taxis would refuse to pick them up because of the chair they needed, and they had a hard time getting onto the city bus. But it sounds like in later years they had less struggle with that.
