[nagdu] Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Blindness*

[Marion & Martin]

Sherri,
    Thanks a bunch for the support! We're hoping that, by sending people to 
our site to get information, more will do so and some will send us financial 
support! BTW, Merry and I just got new cell phones. She remembers that the 
Orlando Chapter was doing some sort of fund raiser with old cell phones, Can 
you write to me either on- or off-list and tell us more about that?

Fraternally,
Marion
