[Nfbmo] UMKC and Mizzou

Yeah, Julie, I have to agree with Gary.  
    Really, Iowas is nothing but a bunch of corn  fields.   You wouldn't 
like it.   I think Missouri would be  much better.

PS:  Even Missouri corn is better than Iowas corn.

I say this  because I am selfish; I like the secretary we have; I like the
fact that  you are a Missourian; I like the fact that you come and visit, 
and
I see  Iowa as an impediment to all of that. So, I vote for a Missouri
school, but  you are number one with me, no matter where you  attend.

Good morning,  Thank  you all...

Ruby, I didn't know you took piano lessons.  That's  awesome.  I'll have to
take piano as well, so it's good to know they  have a good program.

I will be obtaining a masters degree in music,  probably a MA in music,
specializing in voice.  If I go to Iowa, I  will be getting another
performance degree.  I need a university where  the people are willing to
work with me as a blind person, give me  performance oppertunities, and 
teach
me how to become a voice  teacher.  I also need an access office that will
help me get my  braille music and possibly allow me to use a computer for  
my
technology.  Right now the best thing going for Webster is our  awesome
assistive tech coordinator.  She is the main reason why I was  able to get
German and music things in braille.  With the amount of  braille I need, I
don't see a way to handle that without an access  office.  Sorry for the 
long
story...  :)

Now Gary, thank  you for the advice, but why do you say this?
