[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Tuesday's chat 7/28

[Jolene Nemeth]

joyce was a sweet person and always had time to talk on the phone and
encourage me when i had any difficulties or apprehension about a particular
project. we talked together a lot about sewing. i had not known her long
because of my previous job which forbid us to have outside
relationships with clients of our agency or those who could potentially be.
this basically limited my contact with the blind community in my state but
when we did talk, in the past few years  after i retired, she always
treated me like a friend.
