[blparent] Naming and Decorating Canes

[Barbara Hammel]

This makes me think.  At the residential school here in Iowa back when I was 
in early high school there was an assistant in the Recreation department who 
had a perfect name for a blind child.  Of course, I think I was the only 
who'd say it to her.  I'd say, "Would you Carrie McCain for me?"  Her name, 
of course, was Carrie McCain.
