not blind, and is not a member of our organization.<SPAN

she thought blind people should wear these bracelets she was adamant about
her belief.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>She said, (and I

won’t know what is available to them.<SPAN

aren’t going to get up out of bed or off the stretcher and run into a wall

to me that was a huge positive step in the right direction.<SPAN

school instead of the mall, especially after her extreme reluctance to
attend this school anyway…this was a good
thing!<o:p></o:p></STRONG></SPAN>
