<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you mean the dissertation by Dr. Vernon Humphrey, President of the National Association of Blind Veterans, it’s more of a big research paper than a speech. Here is a link to a page on the Southern Miss website, where you can read the
abstract (which is like a short summary) and actually download the whole dissertation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://aquila.usm.edu/dissertations/128/">https://aquila.usm.edu/dissertations/128/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If enough people think this is interesting, maybe the Connecticut affiliate would consider inviting him to come on a conference call and talk about his dissertation and what he discovered. I’m sure he usually gets contacted to speak about
veteran matters, but he’s a well-rounded person with many areas of expertise. He currently teaches communications and public speaking at Columbus State University.
