I had forgotten about Sherrill's message until the announcer said Comcast and talked about a guide for the visually impaired and blind. Did anyone know that J.K. Simmons who won Best Supporting Actor for "Whiplash" was the actor who portrayed the blind man in the NBC show; can't remember the title at the moment, but you know the show I'm referring. He has had quite a distinguished career as a character actor. He was profiled on the CBS Sunday morning show on February 15th.</P>

I'm not so keen on the <BR>>beginning of the piece where the little girl is leading the reporter, who is <BR>>probably blindfolded, up the stairs, but this is still a very educational <BR>>story for the public. We've heard about Comcast's work making television <BR>>accessible, so I'm glad they have chosen to feature a real live blind child <BR>>rather than an actor in their commercial during the Oscars.
