Hi, Justin!

It was great hearing from you and I’m glad you’re still involved in legislation.  Good for you.

Recently I was on a cruise to Alaska and my roommate was originally from Hawaii, but she now lives in San Francisco.  Her name is Joy Oniaku.  We had a wonderful time together, and I even got along with her guide dog named Kinder, who is really cute!

Keep up the good work, and it’ll be great to keep in touch with you.  I wish you the best and much success in your career and your life!  Take care, and Aloha back to you!

We have had a lot of action on state-level legislation. Since I work in the same building as the most prominent subminimum-wage sheltered workshop in Hawaii, I cannot simply go home and forget about what I’ve seen all day. Being involved in politics has been a lot of fun out here. I’m still looking for ways to finish my education, and I continue publishing research and magazine articles about blindness.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
