Good evening everyone,
 
                Mary and I were there as well. It was the bright star in what for us was a convention from Hell! It's hard to believe that that was going on 23 years ago. Eric is still adventuring and sharing his love for adventure with others. We need more like him in the blind community and fewer of those who would hold the dreamers among us back. All the best for a wonderful Easter, Passover, Ramadon, or other observance.

Hi, Peter,
 
I was at one of the NFB national conventions when Eric spoke.  My husband
got to know him, and we enjoyed him very much.  I remember his goal was to
climb the tallest mountain on each of our continents.

Good morning everyone,
 
 
                Welcome to Earth is a National Geographic series on the
origin and creation of our planet 
 
hosted by Will Smith.The series also explores how our planet supports life.
Many aspects of life on Earth 
 
are explored. What is of interest to us here is one of the participating
explorers is none other than Eric 
 
Weihenmeyer. Recall that Eric successfully summited Mt. Everest in 2001 and
has gone on to have other 
 
awesome adventures and is involved in scientific studies of life on Earth.
Eric shares insight into how he 
 
as a blind explorer and outdoorsman can enjoy nature via his other senses
and how he cultivated this 
 
skill. We found it quite fascinating. Having a blind person included in this
docuseries is a wonderful 
 
example of the work of the NFB.
 
 
                This series is available on Disney Plus and includes audio
description. If you're a Disney Plus 
 
subscriber and enjoy programs about life on Earth check this one out. All
the best for a happy Easter, 
 
Ramadan,  or Passover. 
 
 
Peter Donahue
