Dearest Michael - That was such a kind e-mail. I have just joined this list - maybe 3 weeks ago.. I lurked and then jumped in. I never introduced myself - and yet feel completely at home.
I have spent some time listening to the NFB annual convention highlights.. I am so impressed with the NFB. This has opened a whole world to me. The thought that, as a group, we may have a voice that is heard is so exciting. There is hope!
Thanks,
Ginny
