[blparent] Gift Suggestions for a 9-year-old?

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     The NFB Independence Market has checkers, chess and scrabble. Don't 
remember if they have monopoly or dominoes. I used to have a regular set of 
double twelve. It was possible to feel the holes in the wood pieces. Hope 
this helps.

Regards,

Robert
