[humanser] President Schoch Passes!

[Denise Shaible]

Merry,

I'm so happy.  I just gave a big thank you to god and put my hands together 
for you.  I knew you'd pass it.  With all of your hard studying, Marion's 
support, and the good wishes and prayers from your Federation family, you 
had to pass.  Congratulations!

I'm sure you're happy and relieved.  I'm so pleased that the Policy and Laws 
Committee took this issue on and that we've made some progress so that blind 
persons can take their exams and pass them as well as their sighted peers. 
I know we have more work to do but, your success is a big step toward making 
things better.  Congratulations, again!

Regards,

Denise
