[NFB-Talk] A wonderful resource in the Washington state and Vancouver Washington community

[Brian Hatgelakas]

i wish I would've had that sort of school in Pittsburgh.  our "school for
the blind" became null of academics in the mid 70's before my time.  While
I received preschool training at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind
Children i was fully mainstreamed for all 12 years of grade schooling with
a traveling vision itinerant who would go to two other districts around my
area.  I was the only blind  student  in both HS and my  college
graduation  classes.  How many true academic blind schools still exist
arround the US?  i'm just curious to know.
