[Blindtlk] Independence Market at the convention

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi David,

Just wondering, why do you like the telescoping cane over the NFB 
straight cane or the folding cane? I like the NFB straight cane 
because it's lighter, so it's easier to use the two-point-touch 
technique and get information out of sound.  I use to use a 
folding cane until I tried the straight cane at the LAW Program 
at the Jernigan Institute back in April.  But I never liked the 
telescoper that much because I thought it was hard to fold up, so 
it wasn't worth it.  What do you like about the telescoper? What 
about the tip?

Dear Penny,

As a rule, the Independence Market, i.e.  the NFB Store, usually 
has many
different styles and types of canes there for purchase.  I plan 
to buy
another telescoping cane myself, even thou I use my guide Dog 
Jack to get
around.
I still always carry a cane with me.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.

 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
