Terrific job Sabrina for networking to get Rodney talking with James. James 
is truly an inspirational person who has accomplished a lot. Great job 
Sabrina!

James,
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with Rodney. Almost from the 
moment I met him, I knew I wanted to put him in touch with you.
For the rest of the list, Rodney is a boy who recently joined the Daytona 
chapter. He has albinism and is quite intaverted. I really wanted him to 
meet other blind children but also someone such as James who has albinism 
and grew up to be successful in school, professioinally and in life. He was 
able to do both and his aunt Jackie met the right people and got the right 
information to get him the resources and services he needs.
That for me made the convention a success.
Thanks again to James and everyone else who welcomed and helped Jackie and 
Rodney.
Lenora, thank you for everything and especially for giving Rodney the cane. 
That was the first time he had ever had a cane in his hand and he is 10 
years old. He carried it almost the entire weekend.
Holly, thank you for working with Rodney and Jackie during the cane walk.
Doreen, a big thank you for transporting them to SeaWorld and then taking 
them home.
Sincerely,
Sabrina Deaton

Sabrina,

Great job with PR are the convention. Also a great new clip you included, It 
was god to see you and it was nice to meet Jacklyn and my man Rodney. I hope 
I said something that will help him in the future. I would be happy to to 
talk, email,etc. with him in the future.

Who was that guy near the end of the video reading a magazine? (a very 
handsome albino)

Take care, and thanks for your hard work.

James A. Johnson
