[NFB-Talk] braille award?

[Chris Westbrook]

I suggested that if he wanted it in Braille that she read it to him and he
could braille it himself. That didn't go over well lol but I just don't
think EVERYTHING should be provided in Braille all the time, it's not real
life. Should I be upset the church doesn't buy a Braille embosser and
braille the bulletins? Or all the hymn lyrics? Where does it stop? Oh well
I'm from a different generation I guess. I'm not THAT old though, I'm only
35. Haha.
