[humanser] Human Services: GRE & JAWS

Car,
I only experience your eloquence in your sentiments. Thank you for
acknowledging the perspective and prism from which I speak. I know that
everyone of us can move beyond any hole we have been pushed or fallen into. 
Best to you in your every endeavor. Here's hoping The division considers the
bigger picture.
Genuinely,
Mary

Good morning, Mary Tatum,

         Wow. Within your post you described my outlook exactly, and, I hope
I didn't say anything that represented my not having such
beliefs/experiences.
I know we are pigeon-holed into which ever box people think we ought to be
squeezed yet, I hope not to consider my blindness such a hefty strand of my
identity as to dictate my perspective or my associations.
Reading this back, it seems, I am not capturing what I truly feel. It
doesn't do your letter to me any semblance of justice!
I want you to know, though, that I appreciate both your words themselves, as
well as your eloquence even if my response may be light-weight!
