[nabs-l] Sad news, from my DSO

[Nimer M. Jaber, IC³]

Peter,

I am really tired of your comments to this list. Who gives a damn
about what he did or didn't do in the past. The past is done, we're
talking about today. He wrote to this list asking how he can solve a
problem, and that is pretty damn proactive if you ask me. Joshua, nice
job on that. And all you can come up with is you'll have to raise the
funds yourself and why didn't you do this before crap? How about
answering the man's questions for a change?

Joshua, your VR counselor is the same as DSB in Arkansas. That is what
they do. They ought to have some resources for you. Peter is right
that you will have to look into getting a reader for now, but Perkins
and a few other resources as has been mentioned will do braille
transcription, and it is possible that Arkansas has their own services
that they offer, but I'm not too sure about this. Talk to your
counselor down there and see what they say. If you don't get anywhere,
please contact me off list and I will see what I can do as I have a
couple of contacts down there in Arkansas and within a couple of other
organizations that may be able to assist you.

Sincerely

Nimer J
