<BR>Hi everyone,<BR><BR>This past weekend Christopher and I were in
California for the Braille Challenge Finals. For those of you who are
not familiar with this it is through Braille Institute. There are 5
age categories ranging from 1st grade to 12th. The kids are tested in
things like reading comprehension, proof reading, spelling, speed and
accuracy (dictation) and charts and graphs. Christopher came in 3rd
this year in his age group. We are so proud of him. This is a
very tough competition and to have placed is wonderful. He gets a
savings bond. <BR><BR>I just had to share.<BR><BR>Wendy
Nusbaum<BR> <B><SPAN
