Well, thank you Joe, I appreciate that. Actually, I was, actually I want to apologize I didn't mean to sound so, so kick buttish, but I was kind of wondering there, if anyone, actually, even read the message and if anyone actually even cared. Wow, because I am on the list, I mean I'm not a member of the NFB, of course, because I try not to, well, because I dislike because, you know, I just like to be a spectator, I don't do all the stuff that is all entailed and stuff like that, and the, you know, marching and all that sort of thing. I don't do all that sort of thing and that's, you know, I'm just a, what I consider myself is a, well, I guess you can say a blind advocate, but more like a say what I think kind of person, you know, and, so anyway, well anyway, I will speak to you all of you later. God Bless

> >>
> >> Christine was greatly wronged. but, more important than the personal

> >> injustice under the reign of terror of Cannon against Michigan's blind

> >> vindication of what advocates such as myself have been fighting about
