[nabs-l] DSB meeting, a waste of time!

Chris is right that one CCB member does not constitute a strong present by the ACB or that ACB supports it. I do not why they were not more NFB members in 2007, but I was invited to my first NFB meeting when I was staying there in 1997 by a person who was attending LWSB. So just because they were not any NFB members when you attended, does not mean that LWSB is supported by the ACB.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
