[Ct-nfb] Nominations Sought for CRIS Radio Educator of the Year Award

[Justin Salisbury]

While I think Ellen Bedford is a wonderful lady, I also think she is retired. Is that right?

Another great candidate would be Steve Famiglietti. After reading the description, I believe he qualifies.

Also, what ever happened to the Louisiana Tech Teacher of Blind Students from Tolland, CT? Did he come back to Conecticut to work?

But, of course, we will not fail. We will continue to climb. Our heritage demands it; our faith confirms it; our humanity requires it. Whatever the sacrifice, we will make it. Whatever the price, we will pay it. Seen from this perspective, the hostility and backlash (the challenges and confrontations) are hardly worth noticing. They are only an irritant. My brothers and my sisters, the future is ours. Come! Join me on the stairs, and we will finish the journey.
