[Nfbk] new member-good evening

[Kevin Pearl]

I don't know of any "colonies" of blind people. We live separately. The largest concentrations are in Louisville, Frankfort and Lexington. This has more to do with access to public transportation and job opportunities than anything else. 

Best regards,
Kevin Pearl

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
