[nagdu] portable canes was my adventure without my cane

[Sean Moore]

I tried the ILA mini cane. I liked it a lot, bought it at National and 
played with it for a few minutes ands then spoke to Chris Parks who designed 
the new NFB Canes. He saw it and told me it was a knock off of his design so 
I returned it.

Braenda,

Light is exactly what I'm looking for!  I saw that it had a nylon tip,
but I'll try it.  I've only ever used metal, but who knows, maybe I'll
like it.

Thanks!
Julie
