[nabs-l] NFB Training Center Queary

[Jessica Raichle]

If your friend uses the terms "total emersion in blindness training" that 
may help.  Most likely the state center can't even come close to offering 
anything like that.  They are just hoping to pull the wool over his eyes 
like has happened to many of us, I'm sure.
