I second that. Nick and I live primarily on Social Security, besides the 
money he earns from his adaptive technology work. Even though convention is 
expensive, it is well worth the price it costs to come and see three 
thousand blind people united to change what it means to be blind. If we can 
possibly make it work, Nick and I want to attend every year from here on. We 
can ask how other blind people do things, plus being united in knowing what 
issues we, as a movement are trying to address on the national level to 
improve the lives of all of the nation's blind citizens. I caught the 
convention bug when all of us traveled the streets of Detroit last year as a 
group of blind convention attendees. It was my first time united with so 
many other blind individuals. I know it will not be my last. It is a 
pleasure and an honor to serve our state affiliate as secretary and know 
that I might help our movement in a very little way.
