>Hi Dave,

>Chris Kuell, president of the Danbury Chapter of the NFB of CT here. 
>In short, I met a newly blind woman 2 weeks ago, and we had lunch 
>yesterday. She's been a high school gym teacher for 27 years, and 
>now she's being railroaded out of her job because of her blindness. 
>I've reached out to several NFB members for legal advice, but I'd 
>also like to find a blind gym teacher, if there is one out there, 
>for her to talk to. And I thought you would be the guy to help me 
>look, although I don't want to break any NFB protocol. If it's okay 
>to send the following to the member lists, I'd sure appreciate it.

>Thank you,
