Thanks for sharing, Joe. Your stories always help illustrate how much
easier my generation has it now because yours fought for our civil rights and
independence as blind citizens.
Folks, please keep in mind that criticism coming down on either side of
this issue can be hurtful. Many of us are still raw from the loss of Carmen,
and we may be responding with emotion we might have otherwise kept in
check. It isn't fair for us to judge either Laura or Araceli, and we should
keep in mind that our words might have unintended consequences.

we are looking for advancement. we want it easier and better then what we
had. we done it the hard way. i went to college with no help from any
body.
we want to make sure our leaders are educated, and know how to live the
BEST
they can.
in 1991 i had no idea there were blind teachers. cctv's, victor streams
etc.
i tried to keep my blindness hidden for years. and all i got from it was
lies, and terrible stress. i'm not always happy with the NFB but i am
estatic about educating blind kids and adults. i am so sorry that mother
interfered with my learning of braille. when i was 7 i didn't care to hide
my blindness. my mother taught me this. i loved braille school and helping
othaers who saw worse then me. time to stop, my soap box feels a little
unsteady.
love to the NFB

I agree with you 100%. We offer our experience and knowledge and we are
not
looking for praise.
