[Central-md-chapter] A radio program I just heard

[Joe Schissler]

Good morning all,

 

It's 6 am on Super Bowl Sunday and I'm sending this before I forget it.  I
was awake at 5 this morning and listening to WAMU and there was an NPR
program  on the subject of blindness.  It's premise was that blind people
could see if only the low expectations of what the blind can do in our
culture could be raised.  It told the story of Daniel Kish (not sure of the
spelling), who lost his sight at the age of less than two due to cancer and
having his eyes actually removed.  He went on to teach himself to make
clicking noises with his tongue and used it for echo location and went on to
do most everything, including riding a bicycle.  The program included a lot
of other, related information.

 

Is anyone familiar with this?  I did not catch the name of the program but
think it would be well worth listening to.  I will try to get more info on
this.

 

Regards,

Joe
