[nfb-db] fm systems and flying

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Sheila,
Will you be coming this weekend?
If so, I am planning the Deaf-Blind meeting and Guide Dog Committee 
Meeting and would love to have you come to both.

They usually require you to take off the FM system and put it in the 
tray with your belongings even when I have told them I am deaf-blind.  
They are not really good at giving directions that I could hear without 
the FM system and they do not want to take my arm or tap my shoulder 
when I suggested it.  They need to have proper training.

I am working on my presentations as we speak.
I will sure my Lydia and Jim Roth this year while they are at the 
Pennsylvania State Convention working on starting that division with 
Marsha.  Great going you two.  I wish you much success and everyone 
shows and people are receptive.
Janice
