[NABS-L] Innovative Idea. Feedback Please.

Personally, I love the folding cane. However, this would be a 
very convenient feature for those who like the long cane, so that 
it can be made more compact when needed.

Subject: [NABS-L] Innovative Idea. Feedback Please.

Dear Fellow Federationists and Students:

Good Day! Oscar J. Montiel, a fellow student and proud 
Federationist, and I,
had a late night idea pop into our heads, collectively, that we 
are seeking
feedback on. Please inform us if this is a totally outlandish 
idea. (Smiley)
Oscar J. Montiel and Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa jointly present: A 
long white
cane with a button, like the button of an umbrella, that would 
collapse and
expand the long white cane. I understand that telescoping canes 
break rather
easily, while the standard collapsible canes are quite heavy, 
cumbersome,
and to be frank, simply annoying. We would like to produce a 
light weight,
feedback focused, texture sensitive, flexible, and durable long 
white cane.
The button, like that found on an umbrella, is intended to 
provide
convenience and ease of access to the long white cane's function 
of
collapsibility. Please be sure to get back to Oscar J. Montiel 
and/or I with
ideas and feedback, preferably off list. I may be reached via 
email, at:
nmabuelhawa at gmail.com <mailto:nmabuelhawa at gmail.com> , or, via 
phone, at:
(202) 848-8932. Oscar J. Montiel may be reached via email, at:
oscarjmontiel37 at gmail.com <mailto:oscarjmontiel37 at gmail.com> , 
or, via
phone, at: (703) 986-9768. We look forward to feedback, again 
preferably off
list. If there is any Buy In, or, willing investors, also please 
feel free
to reach out, off list, to either Oscar J. Montiel, or, myself, 
Naim Muawia
Abu-El Hawa. Imagine walking all around your college campus, with 
a light
weight cane, that collapses with minimal distractibility, as you 
walk into
your lecture hall. (Smiley) Oscar J. Montiel and I take 
constructive
criticism relatively well; please feel free to be brutally 
honest, when
providing feedback. (Smiley) Thank you all for your support. Many 
thanks and
much respect.

Sincerely,

Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
