> Good morning Friends and Colleagues.
> I am pleased and privileged to announce that Jennings Randolph Jr. has agreed to be our Key Note Speaker for our Convention in July to help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary.
> He is the son of the late Senator Jennings Randolph as you are aware co-authored the Randolph Sheppard Act.  As you may also be aware, The Randolph Sheppard Act provided a very unique entrepreneurial and employment opportunity dedicated solely to the blind and visually impaired community.   As Jennings Jr. traveled the nation with his father during his Senatorial duties, would make it a point to stop at Federal facilities, particularly, Post Offices to enjoy lunch provided by a blind entrepreneur.
> Also, Bob Humphreys authored the 1974 amendments to the act while he was employed as legal counsel to Sen. Randolph.
> PS. For you baseball fans, the name may ring a bell for you, particularly, if you followed that team from St. Louis.
