[nfb-talk] Blind people and "Catch"

[Kenneth Chrane]

Hi I use to play four square, which was a game that students use to play at 
Evans School in Denver, Colorado in the year 1960.
I had good light Reception at that time.
You bounce the ball toward the person in front of you and he, or she, 
bounces the ball towards the person on his left, and the person on his left, 
bounces the ball in the front of the person standing there, and then ball 
comes back to me.

I got pretty good at it.

There is chock printed on the black top, so that people can see it.
I cought on to the consept right away.

I was ten years old going on to eleven years at that time.

The game; (four square) was a very nice game to play on the school play 
ground.
It was certainly a chalenge to me when I was a boy.
