[Robert J Smith]

Hi all -- I agree with Dianne's point about professional decorum on the 
list, but I vigorously agree with the points that Bryan Schulz makes in 
his statements.

Re: [Blindtlk] Blind Yankees fan honored at Tuesday's game



hi,

my reaction was due to being sick of the back biting within the NFB and 
this 
is another example of how a personal victory doesn't mean squat to someone 

who could perhaps cross a major high traffic six lane mini highway.
Even if the woman didn't think traveling to the stadium deserved 
recognition, she had some difficulty and maybe some fear during the early 
trips.

Mike's comment would be the same as if someone offered to walk with the 
woman at a corner and she snapped at the person and jerk her arm away 
instead of talking with the person and calmly saying I attend several 
games 
every year.
It was part of a yearly program, wasn't a pity situation, and doesn't need 

to be analyzed and debated.
