[Blindtlk] happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi everyone,

I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very 
happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope that you have a wonderful day filled 
with family, friends, and (how can we forget) good food! I'm at 
my grandparents' house right now, and am staying here for 
Thanksgiving dinner.  Well, we had to go through the woods to get 
here; and with the rain and flooding we recently received here in 
Maryland, we may have needed to go over the river, as it were! * 
Smile! Yes, that's right...  the stream here is over its banks! 
If anybody on these lists lives in the Maryland or central 
Pensylvania area, you will certainly know what I'm talking about.  
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope it's a great day for 
all of you!

Chris

P.S.  For anyone who is going out tomorrow morning for the Black 
Friday deals, good luck! I'm sure the cane or guide dog you take 
with you will certainly serve you well!


"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 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986
