>blindness as normal as Federationists know it to 
>be, a message you wish to share with others ­ 
>any topic related to blindness you long to teach 
>your fellow Federationists!!!  It should be long 
>enough to cover the subject, but short enough to 
>be interesting; usually about 2 or 3 pages.
>When?  E-mail your writing to Minnesota Bulletin 
>editor Tom Scanlan at 
><mailto:tom.scanlan at earthlink.net>tom.scanlan at earthlink.net
