I'm always up for a good philosophy discussion. Jim, I'm not as sharp as I used to be and I'm a lot younger than you. I will be a great grandmother next month.<BR /><BR />Sincerely,<BR /><BR />April<BR /><BR /><BR />----- Original Message -----<BR />From: James Omvig via DSM-Iowa <dsm-iowa@nfbnet.org><BR />To: Des Moines Chapter List, NFB of Iowa <dsm-iowa@nfbnet.org>,dsm-iowa@nfbnet.org<BR />Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 10:59 AM<BR />Subject: [DSM-Iowa] OCTOBER!<BR /><BR />Mary:<BR /><BR />Glad you read October! Did you listen, or read some other way?<BR /><BR />I'd like to lead at least a part of the philosophy discussion, <BR />but the wheels don't turn quite like they used to when you were <BR />one of my students! I am now 85 years old!<BR /><BR />I was trying to remember, what year was it when you were one of <BR />my students?<BR /><BR />For all Chapter members, if some of you would like to "hear" <BR />October, I've asked our National Office to send some Thumb Drives <BR />to our President. He'll have them in a couple of days.<BR /><BR />Jim Omvig<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /> ----- Original Message -----<BR />From: Mary McGee via DSM-Iowa <dsm-iowa@nfbnet.org<BR />To: "'Des Moines Chapter List, NFB of Iowa'" <dsm-iowa@nfbnet.org<BR />Date sent: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:30:55 -0500<BR />Subject: Re: [DSM-Iowa] October Monitor.<BR /><BR />Hello, Again! This seems to be the first day of accumulated <BR />snow! Happy<BR />New Year a little early! Remember, we're going to have a bang-up <BR />party to<BR />celebrate the death of COVID!<BR /><BR />I read the entire October Braille Monitor this afternoon and was <BR /><BR />I ever<BR />impressed! When can we start discussing it? Would the great <BR />James Omvig<BR />like to lead the group? There are several wonderful articles in<BR />there-everything from the ABA's not really respecting the <BR />practice of<BR />disability law, to the fundamental right to vote. Then, there's <BR />the<BR />tenBroek article, which is really deep!<BR /><BR />I was out a little while this morning and passed the election <BR />office. I<BR />noted it's true that people are coming and going in and out of <BR />there, so we<BR />are indeed seeing record voter turn-out.<BR /><BR />Will the ordinary members of the NFB ever be able to read the <BR />official<BR />Complaint to the DOJ? And where to we go from here with the <BR />state of Iowa?<BR />I had another phone conversation with the State Senator I told <BR />you about at<BR />the meeting. I believe we have an ally here.<BR /><BR />I can call into a group discussion most days till November 3rd, <BR />then it'll<BR />have to be in the evenings.<BR /><BR />Let me know what you all think, please.<BR /><BR />Sincerely,<BR /><BR />Mary L.
