[nfbcs] Fwd: Happy Birthday Mr. Braille! - $200 discount on our Braille products

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good afternoon,

"[Braille]  is the only method by which the blind can be truly literate".

I take exception to this statement.  I know only enough braille to play 
poker.  I am completely blind and I consider myself more literate than the 
average individual who has sight.
