I hope you got your booth, Joshua. But also, no love for the
melting pot?

Well: as a nativist, I'm offended by people that want to become
citizens of this country, but still give their alegance to the
country
they left!
If you want to be here, assimulate to our culture!
JMHO!
Let's get this thread on the topic of the NABS list.
I'm really excited about the formation of the Arkansas
Association of
Blind Students!
I hope we'll be able to have a booth, with our affiliate, this
year.
Blessings, Joshua

Joshua usually gets annoyed by things that nobody else minds...
But I
guess that's the good thing about having several opinions on the
list...

I was seated in the Arkansas section, and one of the guys from
the
Florida section was the one that blurted it out.
Yeah, it's a part of life, but it still shouldn't have happened.
I'll investigate, so I can find a way to sit further away from
that
bullhorn.
Thanks, Joshua

Hello Joshua,
I do not recall hearing about the comment you refer to in your
message.
Perhaps it was just something someone said within earshot of
where you
were
sitting. Unfortunately, people sometimes say things others find
disrespectful. I think this is simply a part of life.
As far as the seating arrangements are concerned, the state
affiliates
are always seated alphabetically during general sessions. The
only
exceptions I
know about is the year they decided to do it backwards, and I
think
sometimes they place Maryland in the center of the room or the
front
of the
middle isle regardless of how this places them in the
alphabetical
order.
Alphabetically speaking, it would make sense that Florida would
be
somewhere
behind Arkansas. If Florida is not somewhere directly behind you
in
your isle, it could be they are just behind you in the next
section
over.
Although I cannot say for sure since I am not too familiar with
this
section
of the room. If you find out it is the same this year, perhaps
you
could investigate why this may be the case.
I hope this helps answer some of your questions.
Take care,
Elizabeth

Hi, all.
I can't wait, until June 29th, when I'll be leaving for Dallas!
I hope most of you, who are on this list, and attending
convention,
will attend the Jaws 14 debut!
I looked at the agenda, and was shocked to find that there was
no
mention of the Blind Driver Chalenge car!
Will it be in one of the exhibits, this year?
I never got to look at it, 2 years ago.
Also, during the general sessions, I'd appreciate it if noone
says,
"Viva Mexico!"
This is the USA, and we should all support our country!
I know, that this comment was off topic, but that was one thing
that
turned me off, 2 years ago.
Who was that guy?
Also, someone from Florida keeps blowing some kind of bullhorn!
Why was Florida seated behind the Arkansas section, two years
ago?
Thanks, Joshua
