Down syndrome teen takes Miss Minnesota to prom

A Wisconsin teen with Down syndrome had a dream date to his junior prom Saturday: Taking Miss Minnesota USA Danielle Hooper. A mutual friend arranged the date after Charlie Gainey, 18, was nominated to the prom court. Julie Schultz has a child who swims on a Special Olympics team with Gainey, and she works with Hooper in University of Wisconsin-Stout's financial aid office. Hooper said she thought the date would be a wonderful opportunity to make people happy.
