[Jeremiah B. Beasley]

This is a hard question to answer as all of my instructors helped to change
my life!  I would have to say the Diane McGeorge has probably had the
biggest impact on my life and success.  She has and continues to be a very
positive mentor for me.  She is always direct with me and tells me how it
is.  She has never said things in a way that made me feel inferior or said
them in a hurtful way.  I don't always like to hear what she is saying but I
have learned that she is much wiser then I and she is normally right!  I may
not like to hear some things she has the courage to say to me but I love her
for caring enough to say them to me.  She has often said that I am one of
hers and I cannot think of any higher complement.  I was once told that I
was a little Diane because I took the same side of an issue as she did.  I
turned to this person and said THANK YOU!   Diane and Ray are part of my
family and I love them both very much.  I owe my success to them.  They got
me involved in the NFB and taught me many things.  One of the most important
lessons that I learned from Diane is that we must care about all blind
people if we are going to be successful in changing the live of blind
people.  I try to live this in my life.  Diane has believed in me when I
have not been able to believe in myself.  For this I will always be
grateful.

Diane if you are reading this Thanks you and I love you!

Hello all,

  I know we don't always get a  strong  showing of topics on this list.
  So I wanted to throw out a topic..
   Who is your favorite instructor/staff member at  the CCB when you
were a student and why?
   thanks,
