[Blindtlk] Making a Difference, (Cont.): Bringing the right attitude out

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Christine,

         In elementary school although I am a total, I, too, never 
used a cane finding that my orientation of the schools lay-out, 
coupled with echolocation was enough to get me around. I bet you also 
have pretty refined echolocation?
for today, Car
impairment and don't always use a cane. As I have mentioned, I am 
from a small town born and raised. This means I am very familiar with 
my surroundings so I don't always use my cane. Judging someone 
because he/she is blind is ridiculous.
