Hopefully your uncle will be able to explain things to you as a person who is blind. Good luck.

Thank you. I may have to take this opportunity. My uncle should be back in town tomorrow and my brother and his family are coming to visit. So this will have to wait. Sigh.

If you want to contact my friend Rita, you can do so at ritahowells at att.net She has helped me a lot with my phone. We have generally worked together by phone as she lives near St. Louis.

I used to. The last chapter meeting I attended was just last month to say goodbye to Debbie. I moved to Quincy November 21st. I don't know what kind of help I'm able to get down here. I haven't been able to contact Kathy Randal because I heard she's in Florida until the spring. Other than that, I'm isolated down here.

Nikki,
I'm sure I dialed at least 40 or 50 wrong calls. Don't sweat it. It's all part of the learning curve.
Do you live in the Chicago area? If so, did you go to the Chicago meetings?
