>Hello to All:
>
>
>
>This week I received an email that began like this;
>
>
>
>On behalf of the Lighthouse for the Blind in San Francisco and our 
>entire Holman Team, we are thrilled to announce that you have been 
>chosen for consideration in the final round of the inaugural Holman 
>Prize. Congratulations! We were highly impressed with the 
>thoughtfulness, clarity and energy that you brought to your project proposal.
>
>
>
>As one of only eleven finalists, you have already demonstrated your 
>ability to dream, plan and put into motion something truly ambitious. "
>
>
>
>To be one of the eleven finalists is an honor in and of itself.  I 
>am hoping to be able to let you all know next month that "The Blind 
>History Lady"  has won!  When I can make that announcement, I will 
>be off and running on a very ambitious schedule to gather 
>information from around the country and bring to life many more new 
>adventures of our blind ancestors.
>
>
>
>Until then, I continue  my research here at home.  There are several 
>stories that I have, yet to be finished and brought to 
>publication  at www.smashwords.com.  There you will find several of 
>my stories of blind ancestors in great detail already published.
>
>
>
>I continue working on my magazine articles.  The June issue of the 
>Braille Monitor will have an article on blind actors of the past.  I 
>hope you will all check it out at 
>https://nfb.org/braille-monitor.  Dialogue will also have in its 
>next issue coming out shortly, an article on the four blind judges 
>of Silver Bow County, Montana.  That article will go further into 
>detail about the men and the community.  Those of you who subscribe 
>to Dialogue will have it shortly.
>
>
>
>I want to thank all of you who have provided me with support during 
>the Holman Prize process.  It was greatly appreciated.
