Hi Cheryl,

That would be great! Congratulations to Eric and his team! I'm glad he
was on there, and I think it helped change the public's attitudes
about blindness.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
