[Blindtlk] Question About Repairing Canes

[Jerry Hathaway]

Diane if you bought the 7 section cane from the NFB store you can send it 
back and they will fix the cane for you. I would call the NFB store to make 
sure it is the 7 section and that it was from the NFB store and they will 
tell you what to do to get the cane fixed.
