[Blindtlk] Independence Market at the convention

[Chris Nusbaum]

Wow, David...  that's very narrowed down for NFB national 
convention.  * Smile! Probably the only people not carrying a 
white cane (that is, blind people) are the members of NAGDU.

Penny, of course there will be canes, as everyone has said.  
There will be a lot of other things too.  It seems that everyone 
who wants to sell something to blind people is there.  As far as 
activities, be sure to get to the Rookie Roundup for an overview 
of the convention.  I don't know how old your daughter is, but I 
know there will be plenty of children there her age, no matter 
what it is.  If you have problems or questions, please ask 
someone.  The Presidential Suite is a good place to get 
information that you can't find in the agenda.  It is open to 
everyone at the times shown in the agenda, and everyone is 
welcome to stop in.

I have been attending these for more years than I can count, but 
I believe this will be my thirty-fourth.  There are some who have 
been attending longer.  We are all happy to help.

I look forward to seeing both of you at convention.  I'll be the 
one carrying a white cane.

I know Independence Market will be at the convention.  My 
daughter really
wants to try a NFB straight over the folding  heavy aluminum cane 
her O&M
instructor gave her.  Does anyone know if they normally have a 
good
selection? I keep telling her we will get her a new one at 
convention and
now I am concerned there isn't going to be any there.  Its our 
first
convention and we are very excited
