[nfbmi-talk] Announce-Executive Director, New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Vision-Impaired

[Terry D. Eagle]

Indeed, good news and lucky blind persons of the Garden State of New Jersy.
That appointment likely translate to Michigan further slipping down one more
spot on the quality of rehabilitation services to the citizens, as another
Federationist assumes the helm of a state with a separate agency serving the
blind.

This is wonderful news for folks in New Jersey.  I know that Dan Frye will
do a fantastic job directing the NJ Commission for the Blind.  He has
soldiered through at RSA for a long time now, and attempted as vigorously as
he could to educate the good folks at Michigan's BSBP about how to run a
proper Business Enterprise program.  Sadly that lesson did not take; and Dan
was prevented from continuing to insist upon strict adherence to the law.
And so we find ourselves caught in a quagmire, with no one in a position of
authority having the slightest idea of what to do about it.  Meanwhile,
those of us who actually have experience running a creditable, honorable,
upright BEP, treating blind operators of concessions, cafeterias, cafe's and
gift shops with the respect, dignity and fairness that they deserve, can
only watch in stunned horror as the scene grows ever bleaker; fraught with
wrong-doing, illegality and corruption.  

We look to New Jersey with hope for a brighter future than we Michiganders
can anticipate, and we join them in celebrating this appointment of a highly
qualified candidate to serve as chief of the agency serving blind people in
the Garden State!  

Congratulations to my friend Dan Frye!  

Christine
