[Blindtlk] History of Presidential Releases

[Peachtree Travel]

Peter:

I believe in the latest presidential release DR. Maurer said it was presidential release 397 or something like that.  Doing the math puts the first presidential release some where around 1978.  Of course that's when DR. Jernigan was NFB president.

  Hello everyone,

      Some recent discussions concerning the presidential release prompted me 
  to wonder a few things. Perhaps some of you know the answer. Here are my 
  questions:

  1. When were presidential releases first produced and sent to local 
  chapters?
  2. Was it Dr. TenBroek, or Dr. Jernigan who first began distributing 
  presidential releases to our affiliates?
