[nabs-l] Any Teachers Out There?

[T. Joseph Carter]

There aren't really any elementary teachers at the Oregon School for 
the Blind.  They have three students chronologically in sixth grade 
or younger, and they are not in an academic program.

The suggestion for the NOBE list was a good one, since teachers who 
are blind aren't that very common.  Carla McQuillan is right there in   
Eugene, but otherwise NOBE will have better luck on with the list.

Audrey might be glad she's in Eugene and not Monmouth and therefore 
not close enough to know what the current composition of the School 
for the Blind is.  That's a separate issue, though.
