<DIV>Justin,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh man you are so on it it's insane. I think this story did open the door
on that which was good that there is different levels of blindness,problesm etc.
I get people asking my sister is she mental or have mental issues because she
can see somethings,has a cane,eyes move funny,moves too adn she always responds
she's blind and then they'll be oh om. So there needs to be so much more
information and education this si why my friend at News12 will do teh stories
adn if you have any do pass them on so he can do them.</DIV>
<DIV>Thank you so much for beign on it Justin Elizabeth</DIV>
