Blind Seniors Across Colorado 

 

 



Tom & Linda
Anderson

 

THANK YOU TOM AND LINDA!!

 

Tom and Linda
Anderson arrived in Denver on 12-01-1987, when Tom became the first Braille
instructor at the fledgling Colorado Center for the Blind.  But, that is
not where their story begins.

 

Linda and her
twin sister Sandy were born in Pittsburgh, Kansas, in 1952.  They were
born prematurely and, as was the practice in those days, received too much
oxygen, which caused their blindness.  The condition is now called
Retinopathy of Prematurity.  Linda remembers her parents as being very
nurturing, supportive and ready to sacrifice for the family.  Because
their home had no stairs, Linda’s father built a wooden staircase so that the
twins could learn how to manage going up and down steps.  As it turned
out, their two older and sighted sisters, Patty and Sharon, were the ones who
tripped on the stairs!

 

During Linda’s
school years, her mother learned Braille so she could do some transcription and
help the girls with their homework.  She also worked hard to teach them
the social skills they would need, but still tended to be overprotective. 
Linda’s oldest sister, Patty taught her how to do her hair and put on makeup.

 

Linda began her education
in a public school where she was taught Braille, but by the time she was in
third grade, she could not understand math. He parents realized she needed more
blindness skills and they all moved so the twins could attend the Kansas School
for the Blind, where they learned to use the slate and stylus and received more
social skills, but not a lot of academics.

 

By the time she
was ready for Junior High School, Linda went back to the public school where
she could now use her slate and stylus. From the age of 3, Linda would come
home from church and pick out the hymns on the piano.  By age 6, she was
taking regular piano lessons.  While in 7th grade, she also
attended a music camp, and after high school, she became a student at
Kansas State and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Music Education.

 

Tom Anderson was
also born in 1952 and had a twin sister who was sighted.  Tom’s blindness
was due to Retinitis of Prematurity.  His
paternal grandparents had immigrated to the United States from Norway in
1897.  Tom was raised on a farm and admitted that his parents were also
over-protective.  When he attended the School for the Blind at age 6, he
learned blindness skills as well as social skills, including how to deal with
bullies. When he attended public high school, he and a blind friend were at
times considered to be troublemakers.  In college, Tom studied political
science and music.  He joined the National Federation of the Blind (NFB)
in 1971 and was soon the president of the St. Cloud chapter.

 

In 1975, Tom and
Linda first met at an NFB convention in Chicago where  Dr. Kenneth
Jernigan was forming a music committee. Tom and Linda, as well as others spoke
up and stated why they thought they could head the committee.  As it
turned out, neither Tom nor Linda got the job, but they were happy because they
got each other!  They spent
much of the convention together and were married in 1976.

 

Tom has worked as
an investigator for human rights, as an aid to a congressman, as an intern in
the government, and with the Vending Stand Program. He also tried law school,
but decided that he didn’t want to live off of other people’s strife, and would
rather live for the Lord.  So, Tom and Linda attended a Bible School for  two  years,


a wonderful
experience for them where they made some life-long friends.

 

The pastor told
the students to go out and find jobs, which was an important part of their
education.  Tom found a job working with a lawyer, and Linda got a job
with an ophthalmologist.  They used their Braille skills as well as some
recording devices. The pastor soon commented to the other students that Tom and
Linda were blind, but were still able to find jobs – so what excuse did everyone
else have for not finding a job?!

 

Tom was
interviewed by Diane McGeorge, and became the Braille teacher at the new Colorado
Center for the Blind. In 1987, Tom and Linda moved to Denver where he has
worked ever since. He has taught Braille to many students who were then able to
attend college, enter the working world, raise families, and become active
participants in their communities.

 

Tom and Linda
have been able to travel to different countries, (together or separately): to Zambia,
Poland and Hawaii to teach blindness skills, and as missionaries to Pickle
Creek, Ontario to live and work with the Cree Indians, and to Honduras,

 

 

When they arrived
at the Colorado Center for the Blind, they were the first managers of the
apartments for the CCB students. Linda remembers those early years as being
hard, but the experience helped them learn and grow.  Linda had some part-time
training at the center, concentrated on home making and did some work with Mary
Kay cosmetics. She currently volunteers to teach Braille to seniors at the
center.

 

At this time, Tom
has announced his retirement from the CCB.  He and Linda plan to return to
the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, where they will be involved with their
church, their family and continue to take part in NFB activities.

 

Linda would like
to encourage those who are losing or have already lost their sight to “Hang in
there! Blindness is not the end of the world.  There are many ways to get
your needs met.”  Tom has often thought that if he had not been blind, he
most likely would have become a farmer.  As a blind person, he has had
more opportunities in life.  He believes that to be successful, we have to
make the most of life as it is presented to us. Tom and Linda will be missed
and will be hard to replace, but they will be remembered with gratitude and
fondness for all they have done as members of our Colorado community.

 

Tom and Linda – your Colorado family wishes you 

well in  your
continuing adventures in life!

IN MEMORIUM

 



Picture of Marie
Dambrosky 

(Marie Dambrosky diligently studying Braille)      

MARIE DAMBROSKY

Marie, at age
96, had participated in our senior program for almost ten years.  She was
one of the most inspiring women that I have ever met.  Marie was so kind,
always thinking about others.  She was well read and often brought in
books and articles to share with everyone.  A couple of years ago she
brought in directions to fix a faucet that had broken.  She needed someone
to read her the directions. That was all she needed and promptly went home and
fixed the problem!  Marie was always eager to fully participate in
everything.  One of the last classes she took was a self-defense class for
blind people.  She made the comment:  “Even with my
height of 4’7”, techniques will be helpful. When an assailant touches you, he’s
not prepared for your (aggressive) touch!”  

Friends
recently commented about Marie:  

“Marie was inspiring!” 

“She had fun and was always positive.”  

“She had endless energy.”  

“She lived alone and independently.” 

“She was always trying to improve her mind.”  

“Marie always thought about others.”  

“She did not make negative comments.” 

“She was a Ham Radio operator.” 

“She studied self defense, learned to use an
I Phone, an I Pad, a computer and Braille.” 

“She was amazing!” 

“Marie was bright and interested in many things.”


“I want to be like Marie when I grow up!”
(that comment from a teacher and a senior friend!) 

“She kept going and kept learning and kept
sharing.”

 

Marie said her personal challenges were just a bump in the road.  She will be remembered as a friend and an
example to us all.

 

Marie passed
away on February 5th.  We loved her and will miss her.  She will live
on in our hearts and inspire us all.  If we can all be a little bit like
Marie, we will live great lives!

GORDON WELLS

 

Gordon was born at St. Luke's Hospital in Denver, CO on August 14, 1950.
He and his family moved to Lakewood, CO where he  graduated from Alameda
High School in 1968. He went on to study airline mechanics and in 1970, married
his high school sweetheart, Merlene.

 

Gordon was always interested in martial arts and enjoyed watching Bruce
Lee and Chuck Norris movies.  He studied Karate, Kung Fu and Tae Kwan Do
and through the years obtained his 5th level black belt.  Gordon also
taught several martial arts classes to adults and kids and enjoyed judging
numerous events involving his students.

 

He worked at Jepperson Sanderson as a graphic designer for 30 years,
preparing world topographical maps for airlines until he retired in 2005.

 

Gordon was a faithful attender of the Colorado Center for the Blind and
was highly regarded by his peers. 
Everyone loved his fun-loving spirit and his determination to learn.

 

Gordon passed peacefully in his sleep on April 23, 2015, and is survived
by his wife Merlene, son Gordon James (J.R.), daughter Kellene Gale, grandson
Nikos, sister Sandra, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

 

He was a kind and quiet person who is loved and will be extremely missed

SENIOR TOPICS – CONFERENCE CALLS

 

The National
Federation of the Blind Senior Division has put together and sponsored several
conference calls on specific topics of interest to blind and visually impaired
seniors. 

 

By the time you
receive this newsletter, we will have had four of the calls on: “Cane Travel;
“Braille – Can I learn Braille as a senior?”; “Organization – keeping track of
banking, labeling, sorting and filing necessary documents, etc.”; and “Pursuing
favorite hobbies and crafts.”

 

You may still
have time to get in on the last one for this session.  On Wednesday, June
10, 2015 at 2 pm Mountain Time, the conference call topic will be about
“Leisure Time, dining out, movies, etc., and enjoying your favorite pastime
activities.” The call is a long distance call, but you may already have long
distance covered with your regular phone.  The call lasts about one hour.
The number to call is 1-712-432-1500. You will be asked for the access code,
which is 759633 followed by the pound sign key on your phone.

 

Calls are being
recorded so if you miss one, you can listen to each recording at a time of your
choosing.  To listen to a recording, dial 1-712-432-1202. This is a
different number for the recordings. You will again be asked for an access
code, which is the same 759633, followed by pressings the pound sign key on
your phone. Then you will be asked for the reference number for the recording
you want to hear.

 

The
reference numbers are:

2,
then the pound key – “Financial Management after Blindness” from 2014

 

3,
then the pound key – “Blindness, a family dynamic” from 2014

4,
then the pound key – “Cooking by Touch,” from 2014

7,
then the pound key – “Cane Travel,” 2015

8,
then the pound key – “Can Seniors Learn Braille?”

 

If you just press
the pound key without a reference number, you will get the most current
recording.

 

When you are
first connected, you will hear some people check in and chatting, but don’t
hang up!  You will soon hear the introduction and instructions and then
the conference will begin.  Those of us who have heard these calls are
very pleased and have learned a lot. We hope you enjoy and learn something new
from these conference calls. You will also have the opportunity to ask
questions and share your ideas.

 

We would greatly
appreciate some feedback from you about the conference calls and also about the
newsletter.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH DR. JACOBUS
TENBROEK

 

Our past president of
the National Federation of the Blind, Dr. Marc Maurer, made this statement in
1986:  “Let me offer an ancient and wise
proverb:  If you give a person a fish, you can feed him or her for a day. 
If you teach that same person how to fish, you can feed him or her for a
lifetime.  No Individual in the history of the National Federation of the
Blind has taught more blind people how to fish, worked harder, loved more or
given more generously of time, talent, energy or resources than Dr. Jacobus
tenBroak.”

 

When Jacobus tenBroek
was born in 1911 in Alberto Canada, there was no national organization of blind
people.  At age 7, he lost part of his sight in a childhood accident with
a bow and arrow.  By age 14, he was totally blind.

 

His family moved to
Berkeley so he could attend the California School for the Blind.  It was
there that he eventually partnered with Dr. Newell Perry and others to form the
California Council of the Blind, which was a prototype for the N.F.B. that Dr.
tenBroek founded in 1940. 

 

When reading of the
many speeches, books, organizations and movements he became involved with, it
becomes evident that Dr. tenBroek recognized the absurdity of the idea that
blindness means incapacity.  As others often stated, “This man was not an
ordinary blind person.”  However what Dr. tenBroek recognized in himself
was not that he was exceptional, but that he was normal – that his blindness
had nothing to do with whether he could be a successful husband and father, do
scholarly research, write a book, make a speech, guide students engaged in
social action movements and causes, or otherwise lead a
productive life.

 

Dr. tenBroek’s career
took shape after he received his doctorate in jurisprudence from the University
of California, completed a year as a Brandeis Research Fellow at Harvard Law
School and was appointed to the faculty of the University of Chicago Law
School.  Two years later, he fulfilled his goal of returning to the
University of California at Berkeley and eventually becoming a full professor
as well as chairman of the department of Speech and professor of Political
Science.

           


Throughout his life Dr.
tenBroek frequently became involved in many other civil rights movements. 
He became active in support of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and became a
champion of the Japanese-Americans interned in camps during World War II and
was involved in reversing the legality of such treatment.

           


As a law scholar, he
contributed significantly to the Brown v. Board of education civil rights
decision, and was instrumental in protecting the rights of students to hold
sit-ins. He also directed efforts to require sheltered workshops to pay workers
minimum wage.

           


In studying Dr. tenBroek’s
papers and books, it also becomes apparent that he was more than a well-educated
professional.  He was also cheerful, enthusiastic and didn’t take himself
too seriously.  He began some of his letters with “Dear Gang,” and often
used such personal phrases as “You did a bang up job!”

           


Dr. tenBroek’s lifelong
and devoted wife, Hazel, worked inseparably with him in raising their 3
children and in his research, writing and academic and Federation
concerns.  After his death at age 56, in 1968, she continued to be an
active member of the organized blind movement.

           


Dr. Kenneth Jernigan,
another past president of the National Federation of the Blind, said the
following: To the tens of thousands of blind Americans over a quarter of a century,
he (Dr. tenBroek) was leader, mentor, spokesman, and philosopher.  As time
goes on, his work has made the organized blind movement the symbol of a cause
barely imagined before his coming: the cause of self-expression, self direction
and self sufficiency on the part of blind people.”

           


Though this article is
long, it is only an introduction to the life of this productive teacher and
guide to millions of blind people as well as the poor, disabled and other
minority groups. More can be learned from the book “Blind Justice”, by Mattson.

as well as authors Deborah Kendrick and Lou Ann Blake.)

THE NFB IS A GREAT RESOURCE

 

The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) has several
services and products available to help you in your journey with visual
impairment and blindness.  

 

You may request a free white cane simply by calling the
NFB.  Because the canes do wear out, you
may order one every 6 months if necessary!  
You may also request a free slate and stylus, which are the tools that
people use to write Braille.  By calling
the NFB at 1-410-659-9314, and pressing the number “1” to speak to someone, you
can request printed forms to apply for these items.  You may also apply on-line at www.nfb.org.

 

If you need assistance in using these items, the NFB may
have the appropriate reference books or can give you resources where you can
get that information.

 

The NFB also publishes the Braille Monitor, which is
filled with personal stories, resource information, reports on events and much
more.  The Braille Monitor is available
in Large Print, Braille, on line and on a thumb drive that you can use with
your computer or digital player from the Talking Book Library.

 

There is no charge for the Braille Monitor, but because
of the costs involved in producing it, the NFB suggests that members and
non-members help by paying $40 a year to receive this publication.  It is certainly well worth it!  You may call the above number or check the
web site to subscribe and/or get more information.

DO YOU OR DID YOU ENJOY READING NEWSPAPERS?  

DON’T STOP!

 

Many people find
their newspapers to be an important part of their life.  They learn about
what’s going on in the world, in their communities, in politics and sports, and
even what’s on TV tonight!

 

Those of us who
have lost or are losing our vision find quite a vacuum in their day when they
don’t see well enough to enjoy their newspaper or even a favorite magazine.

 

The National
Federation of the Blind produces Newsline, which is a free service to any blind
or print disabled person.  With Newsline, you can listen to today’s news
Today, on your telephone or online on your computer.  Newsline carries
over 300 newspapers from the New York Times and the Denver Post, to U.S.A.
Today, magazines like Time, the Smithsonian and AARP.

 

If you are a
member of a Talking Book Library, they can sign you up, or you can call NFB
Newsline at 1-866-504-7300, and they will help you become a subscriber and
explain how to use the service.

 

You can continue
to learn what’s going on in the world and enjoy many newspapers and magazines
with Newsline!

KERNAL BOOK UPDATE

 

As mentioned in a
pevious issue, the seniors at the Colorado Center for the Blind began
distributing NFB Kernel books all over town – especially in waiting rooms where
ever we go.  The 

 

purpose is to
educate and inform the sighted public about how blind people live and work and
enjoy their lives.

 

At this time we
have distributed almost 700 books in the Denver Metro area.  If you would
like to join us in this outreach project, or just want a copy of one or two of
the Kernel books – in large print or in Braille, you may call and request them
from the NFB at 1-410-659-9314, or call Estelle at 303-789-7538 and I’ll even
include a Braille Alphabet card and the Courtesy Rules of Blindness. The books
are free of charge and are the NFB’s project to educate people about blindness
and the resources that are available.
