[nfb-talk] Proposal to Decrease Unemployment Among the Blind

[Kenneth Chrane]

Hi there is a nice rehab center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I remember when Jim Walker worked for Rehab in 1978.
I visited there in 1978 and I also Corresponded with Dave Walker in 1979.
Who directs the Agency there now?
Ken Chrane
