[Blindtlk] Introduction.

[Julie J]

Mary,

Welcome!   I'm Julie, currently living in eastern Nebraska with my farmer 
husband and teen age son.  I work as the juvenile diversion coordinator for 
the county.  An adult diversion program is in the works.  Hopefully  it will 
be approved.  I'm rather looking forward to working with a different group 
of people.

I didn't get a cell phone until about 6 months ago.  I think I've made 3 
calls on it and it has never rung.  I only turn it on or use it at all when 
I travel out of town.  It's comforting knowing my family can contact me when 
I'm away.

There is a museum in southeast Nebraska, the Homestead National Monument, 
that has recently made a lot of effort in making it's displays accessible to 
blind/visually impaired people. I thought I had a link, but I can't find it. 
anyhow one of the things they have implemented is that blind people can 
touch the displays when wearing cotton gloves.  I don't know if that is an 
option for your sculpture garden or not.

Again, welcome to the list!
Julie
