 Gary Ray of North Carolina said, "Last year at this time North Carolina had
a number of tremendous governmental and legislative reverses.  Our school
for the blind was going to be closed; NEWSLINER funding was in jeopardy; the
governor had issued executive orders to merge our VR agency into a super
agency and had put one of our critical committees on a hit list. In North
Carolina we have run the table since then. The Governor Morehead School has
been unclosed; NEWSLINE has been funded for another year; the legislature
blocked the merger of our VR agency, and the legislature has blocked the
dissolution of the Consumer and Advocacy Advisory Committee for the Blind."
These victories briefly halted the roll call with applause from the
convention and the drawing of a door prize.

I'm in the Braille Monitor as the immediate past president of the North
Carolina Association of Blind Students for sponsoring a resolution at
convention.  Isn't that interesting?
