> Mary, thank you. This is a very timely message, as those of us in CABS are struggling to find a way to impress upon young students the benefit, both to themselves and to all blind people, of devoting their precious time to the movement.
>    Though I had been aware of, and a supporter of the NFB for years prior, I became seriously involved in the NFB in 2009. I missed the friendship and comradery I gained while at the Colorado Center for the Blind, and longed to be a part of something greater than myself. 
> I found comradery and a chance to get involved, and so much more. I found friends who saw talent in me I didn't know I had, and I found teachers who weren't afraid to tell me when I was making a mess of something. Looking back, I think both things benefited me in equal measure. 
>    Mary spoke of the discrimination against federationists by the airlines in the '70's. While we have made much progress since then, it would be fool-hearty to think that such blatant discrimination is a thing of the past. As you know I am president of the Canes and Tails chapter, and we can all testify, as you read over the weekend, that pockets of prejudice still exist today. 
>    "Live the life you want" is so much more than a tag line. For federationists, it is the living breathing reality in which we operate. It is the mindset that blindness, though at times an inconvenience, will not hold us back from doing what we want to do. For each other, we reinforce that reality in a society which too often questions it. For those blind people who have not embraced it, we offer encouragement and teaching which empower them to realize their own potential. Always we stand against those who in their ignorance would place limits upon us based on their perception of blindness. That, folks, is why I devote so much of my time to this movement.

> Hello all: This is just to let you know that everything went well today with my procedure. Sarah did drive me home, but I still gave the surgery center both barrels about their policy. I have another eppadurral in 2 weeks. Hopefully, this will get wrid of some of my leg & now back pain.
