[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Texas questions

[walhoframona at gmail.com]

Nella, I know lots of people from Texas, but you asked for too much for an email. The pres of NFB of Tx is Norma Crosby who lives in the Houston area. In my opinion, Tx rehab is very mediocre, but there are doubtless some good people. Tx rehab will pay for students to go to Louisiana Center for Training, and many Texans have gone there. The Texas Center "Chris Cole" in Austin is much weaker, but not useless. I think NFB of Texas has 8 or 10 chapters, but could use more. They have a pretty good website I believe.
