[nabs-l] Arkansas Vocational Rehab

[Joshua Lester]

As promised, here's the new thread!
When I was growing up, there was a gentleman, named Mr James Ivory,
who served as my VR counselor.
Then, Mrs Barbara McDaniel had the position, until her retirement.
Meanwhile, back at the Department of Social Services, a division of
services for the blind was created.
Mr Ivory went on, to work for them!
He was my DSB counselor, and Mrs McDaniel was my VR counselor.
After she retired, Mr Alvis Hooks took over VR, but took them into a
totally different direction, so that all of the blindness services,
that my state's VR used to provide, are now handled by the DSB,
(Division of Services for the Blind,) (Department of Social Services.)
Now, the DSB is handling all of my VR needs, while the actual VR is
helping others, (who aren't necessarily disabled.)
His job is about to be vacated, when he retires, in a year or so.
I'm hopefully going to get that position, so that I can make sure,
that VR serves its real purpose, so DSB can stay out of our affairs!
They used to be two separate organizations, now, they're all one in
the same, and that's not good!
Blessings, Joshua
