(I will send preliminary gate assignments in another E-mail this evening when I arrive in Wyoming.)  RTD is planning some interesting events to open DUS, which I believe we blind would enjoy attending.  I would like to see as many blind people as possible coming downtown to our Union Station to celebrate its opening.  Hearing the sounds of cane tips on the terracotta floor of DUS would be absolutely fantastic!!!

I would like to take photos of blind people enjoying Union Station.  I want to publish photos of blind people enjoying the new facilities for The Blind Colordian.
