>Dear Mr. Andrews,
>I am a retired pediatrician who has volunteered in the accessibility
>department of the Museum of Fine Arts (in Boston) for over a decade.
>I created and led tours there for the blind, including students at
>Perkins School for the Blind.
>
>Years later, at 90 years old, locked in with Covid-19 and cancer, I
>wrote a book about my experience with one visually impaired visitor
>to the museum. It's essentially the story of how art can be taught
>to the blind, a reminder that museums are accessible to the blind.
>It is available as an audiobook, on Amazon & Audible & iTunes.

>I spoke with Jenivieve White at the National Federation of the Blind
>who gave me your contact information and suggested I contact you to
>ask if you would consider adding it to your internet mailing list. I
>would appreciate any feedback from you.

>I am very ill at the moment and with high hopes of sharing this book
>with the blind. Thank you so much for your consideration.
