Scott,
Yeah, I noticed that too. I know deaf people, I know blind people, but
beside me and this woman, I don't know any db people here.
My CBVH case was just opened again. I want to commute up to HKNC from
Suffolk, but, as yet, there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. SCAT
doesn't go up to HKNC anymore. Would you have any ideas on that?
Trish

Hi Trish.
I know that Scott is a common name, but I think I'm the only Scott on this
list? I wonder if it would be more effective to set up a DB chapter for the
greater NYC area? Seems like Long Island doesn't have too many DB people
living on it.
