>> could hook up with her and get the ball rolling.  But I see problems in
>> getting the NY Commission to pay for the trainng.
>> Who should he contact?  The NY NFB president?  The local chapter
>> president?
>> Who are these people?  I would like to forward this info to my friend so
>> he
>> can get started.  Also, any New Yorkers out there are welcome to tell me
>> about the commission's policies and how to get free choice from them.
>> This is a similar situation that I've ben in before.
