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

Sun Apr 8 20:37:41 UTC 2012

Hello all,

No, scott isn't in the nfb at all. But, I'm sure that if he was be a major
member of it. I met him many years ago in the summer of1998 when we were
both on a panal talking about ouer lives in living with a rare retinal
degenerative disease. It was a conference for the foiundation fighting
blindness. I hope this helps you all out.

Hugs,
amyq

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
