[nabs-l] Trouble forming an Association of Blind students for my state

[chris nusbaum]

That Web site isn't working right now, for some reason. I'll contact
David Dunphy. When I select the "click here to download or listen to
past NABS presentations" link, I get a "the page cannot be displayed"
message. That's happening on both the BrailleNote and on the computer.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
