Hi,

Good luck getting nfb members to talk about research or cures!
At least locally, officers were irritated at the suggestion of inviting
medical experts to speak at the state convention.

Peter,

Thank you for sharing your views on how you accomplished your challenges. I
understand all of this to mean that what matters most is the standards we
hold ourselves to, instead of what society thinks. It is important to define
the right goals for ourselves.

What is the name of Michael Hingson's book?

I would also like to hear more from people who have been blind since birth
and a breakthrough happened where their eyesight was restored. What was that
like to adapt to?

Thank you,
Mike
