[nfb-db] blind how

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Marsha,
Andrew Cohen
Gave a Protactile seminar at the Deaf-Blind Camp in Maryland.  Randy 
Pope's president of the AADB wife has organized monthly Protactile 
workshops that meet in restaurants.  They just had they one year 
anniversary of the group.  It is very popular.
