[il-talk] dec 7

[JOSEPH MONTI]

sone one today asked me when the deadline for ordering certificates. i'm sorry after all this time i really lost it. what is the purpose of having email and not using it. i have no personal agenda here. i am not using iltalk to run for office or become rich. my agenda is simple. raise money to pay for all and i mean all of our fine works. we should be proud of the affiliate. we lead much more than follow. 
dec. 7 is a date i know well. of course it is the anniversary of when japan attacked pearl harbor. 
that is an important day in our history. but that day also has personal meaning to me. my father loved to hunt. and on a dec. 7 many years ago he asked me to hunting with him. i didn't have a gun,though i did have 20/20 vision then. i was his beater. pheasants are elusive and only move when a dog or a person almost steps on them. we hunted on a farm 50 miles from chicago owned by my father's friends. lmy mother and i used sit and talk with the farmer while my father hunted. they had good fook. but this day i was tramping around through corn fields hoping to see a pheasant. we went be to the farmhouse and the farmers told us that we had been attacked. my father decided to go home right then and there. it was a very quiet ride home. a few months later an infection almost as quietly at eh hapanese attacked my eyes. and here i am fighting that you see what so many people don't or won't see,tho they have 20/20. blind people need the chaance to be taught what
 thaey need. sighted people have to be taught that blind people aren't freaks but are down one sense. and with training bllind people can do almost anything. 
please support our certificate program.
