> Hi All,

> I recently received the RFB&D "Family News" in the mail.  In their appeal

> from the story on the front page:
>
> "Then came school.  Cooper was aware of the sighted kids, running and 
> playing and doing their schoolwork independently.  He sometimes felt 
> isolated.  But he was always able to keep up--until the third grade. 
> Cooper tried his hardest to read his books in Braille.  But it was very 
> difficult, and it took him a long time.  But the end of the year, he had 
> to miss a special class field trip because he had not met his reading 
> requirements."
>
> OY!  Stuff like that makes me so aggravated!
