 Hi all,

 Wondering if anyone here has ever been in contact with the NFB founders or anyone else who was greatly involved since the Federation's beginnings and how it all started? I found the basics on the NFB site, but I am getting to wonder what things were like then for the blind on a daily basis, how it was that they could meet and hold meetings and make arrangements of all kinds at that time when orientation and mobility and other blindness skills were not much known or taught to the blind. I am sure that the founders and others who were involved have already proved themselves and their abilities, but I guess it is always nice to hear stories of all kinds that may lead someone somewhere. Not everywhere in the world the blind have equal opportunities and I hope it would be of help to some of us.
