[nabs-l] reflecting on the attacks

Good advice, Ashley! You seem like a person who would help people stay
calm during an emergency, which is a great characteristic. You've
given us good advice to us both when Irene hit and now.

"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
