[blindlaw] blindlaw Digest, Vol 99, Issue 26

Wed Aug 29 17:37:36 UTC 2012

Thanks.  I'll send Trudy an email too.  I definitely will bring Nia.  We were discussing blindness the other day and she said that if we weren't blind then we would have missed out on being a part of NFB and meeting so many great people.  I definitely want to maintain her positive view of blindness.

Thanks,
Latonya
