[nfb-talk] 2012 Convention - advice to newbees

Wed Mar 7 19:21:31 UTC 2012

I wasn't too cold, at the Dallas convention, 2 years ago.
I guess, some people are cold natured, but not me!
As for Dr Kurzweil, it would be a shame, if he wasn't at the convention.
Seriously, what's an NFB convention without Dr Kurzweil?
If it's possible, they need to let Dr Nemith speak, as well.
