[nabs-l] Why Did I Join Nabs?

[Joshua Lester]

I joined, for the reasons, everyone here mentioned.
I'm actually going to join the group, next year, at convention.
I do, however, want to say, that the term should be sight impaired.
I like Chris's motto, "A loss of sight, never a loss of vision."
That's what I agree with.
I hate "Visually impaired."
That is the worst term in the world!
Blessings, Joshua
