However, probably not for the reasons you would like. My question to you is, why do you believe blind persons need a specially designed line of clothing? We are quite capable of wearing the same clothing found on the racks in department stores. We can coordinate our clothing as well as sighted individuals. It is off-the-wall projects such as yours that lead the general public to believe blind people are less than capable. I would like to refer you to our web sites so that you can learn more about blindness and the work of the National Federation of the Blind and the National Federation of the Blind of Kentucky. We are the largest membership organization of the blind speaking for the blind. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Check out <a href="http://www.nfb.org">www.nfb.org</a> and <a href="http://www.nfbky.org">www.nfbky.org</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Cathy Jackson, President</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>National Federation of the Blind of Kentucky</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>-----Original Message-----<br><b>From:</b> Edana Hoehn [mailto:edanahoehn@gmail.com]<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, April 22, 2011 10:27 AM<br><b>To:</b> president@nfbky.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Final Design Project for the Blind</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi Cathy, <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>My name is Edana Hoehn and I am a senior design student at the University of Cincinnati. For my senior design project, I am developing a line of clothing for the blind and visually impaired. I recently visited the American Printing House for the Blind and was given your contact information from Katie Carpenter. I am trying to continue my research to be able to better design for my target market. I was wondering if I would be able to send along some specific questions to you to gain further insights in order to better design more efficient products. If you are visually impaired or blind, your insights would be very much appreciated. If not, if there is someone that you could put me in contact with I would appreciate that as well. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Edana<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br>-- <br>Edana Hoehn<br>University of Cincinnati<br>Fashion Design: Product Development<br><a href="mailto:edanahoehn@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style='color:black'>edanahoehn@gmail.com</span></a><br>419.234.4449<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
