[Blindtlk] The Jacob Bollitin Story

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know whether "The Blind Doctor" by rose Pearlman is available in Braille? I would really like to read this story.

I get so angry and bent out of shape by the discrimination and misconceptions that exist today. I simply cannot imagine, having the spirit and the stamina to achieve all that this man did back in the day when most of us were still relegated to the sheltered workshops and so forth. I can't conceive of how he overcame so many barriers erected by the society of that day and time, and would really like to know more.

He must have accomplished this at a fairly young age too, to have died at age 36. Most doctors have just barely gotten their careers off the ground by that age.

Anyway, if anyone knows where I might get a Braille copy, please do let me know.
