<pre wrap="">Janice,
I am so very very hapy to hear about this. I remember hearing on the stream of the general session that Alaska, was deafblind. I also noticed that Dr. Mauer was not very nice in giving the ALaska person to respond. This made me mad. How inconsiderate. I know of 4 federationists in my state who are DB, I know of other DB people, who are not NFB'ers too. I am glad that the search for more DB persons is being done. I am curious about the scholarship winners, who were the DB winners? How much or little hearing did they have? Did they need an SSp? I wonder if a person who was totally blind and deaf, who required an SSP would be given the chance to be a scholarship winner. I also wonder if there is some discimination in the scholarship process in this regard.

<pre wrap="">Hi Everyone,
I wanted to let you know that the Deaf-Blind Division gave letters to all 51 Affiliate president's or alternate delegates asking their cooperation in identifying deaf-blind in their state. We learned that Alaska Affiliate president was Deaf-Blind and required an SSP to during session to respond. Also the Alternate Delegate for Delaware was also Deaf-Blind. There were several other states affiliate who had spouses that were Deaf-Blind. Finally, two of the Nationally Scholarship winners were Deaf-Blind. While HKNC does compile a list of Deaf-Blind in the United States, the division is specifically looking for a Federationists, who are Deaf-Blind.
Janice
