[CT-NFB] CRISAccess

[Mary Silverberg]

Deb,
Yes, thank you very much!
At some time in the future, it would be  wonderful  for us and our families
to go  to one or two of these places together.
Remember last year when we went to Mystic Aquarium  to celebrate &
publicise the accessible exhibits?
Mary
