Hi,
I'm really happy for Mark and the NFB that this was such a success. I have a question. I will ask it and then explain why I want to know. The question is: Is Mark totally blind? I ask this question because to make the challenge totally and 100% valid, the driver should be depending soley on the sensory technology. Mark once had a lot of usable vision to the point where he could read print. If he has any usable vision, was he by any chance wearing sleep shades? Either way, I'm still very proud of Mark. I know him and Melissa from Wisconsin but I honestly don't remember about his  blindness.
Peace,
Cari
