>Wow, what a way to start the month of July!
>The Blind History Lady was one of six to win the Jacob Bolotin award 
>from the National Federation of the Blind at its annual convention 
>on Sunday, July 8, 2018 in Orlando, Florida.The award came with a 
>cashprize that was great.The funds will help me to visit the distant 
>sites where the original documents related to our blind ancestors 
>are hidden away.
>But also, the award represents to me, recognition of my work.I grew 
>up in the Federation and it is a family for me.As a genealogist, we 
>often find that family are the most resistant to learning from our 
>research.To have the recognition of my NFB family is moving in so 
>many ways for me.I cannot thank the Bolotin Committee enough for 
>their faith in my work.
>The New Mexico Group-Blinded Veterans Association also honored me 
>this month.The Blind History Lady was featured in their June 
>newsletter that came out the beginning of July.This group has 
>invited me in the past to speak to them regarding the history of the 
>blind of New Mexico and been most supportive of my work.I look 
>forward to seeing some of them and encourage them to stop by my 
>booth, on August 4, at the Health and Wellness Fair of the National 
>Veterans Golden Age Games at the Albuquerque Convention Center.My 
>thanks to all of you who have promoted The Blind History Lady 
>through your organizations and students.Thank you for allowing me to 
>speak, in person or via telephone to your organizations or groups 
>about our blind ancestors.I appreciate you very much!
