[nabs-l] FW: Scott MacIntyre: "By Faith, Not By Sight"

Sun Apr 8 01:28:01 UTC 2012

I'm not sure. I met him in person when he spoke at the 2009 Braille
Challenge, but that was not an NFB-related event. I remember Dr. Maurer
mentioning him in the 2009 banquet speech, so he may be in the NFB, but I
don't know.

I'm interested in this book!
I hope, he'll attend our national convention!
Is he in the NFB?
Thanks, Joshua
