FYI - Paul Papp was at the FIA for an additional 1 1/2 hours waiting for
'his ride'. While he was waiting he heard the guards and other people making
the comment that "we're not letting those blind people in here again!"




Needless to say we will strongly suggest that they
undergo sensitivity trainings. 

I am 3 1/2 pages into my report and we have just finished the need for signs
near the café and gift shop area. I was just getting into the need for cane
detectable warnings for where the 'artwork' is more than 4" away from the
walls, when I had a brain fart. Should they provide truncated domes or some
other detectable warnings for the curb cuts in front and rear?
