[Nfbmt] Fwd: National Federation of the Blind Congratulates Dr. Fredric K. Schroeder

Tue Nov 27 20:50:04 UTC 2012

The thing that I see missing, is not knowing the states they are from.
On a different list, someone was looking for the president in Florida. 
I know his question got answered,
Or am I missing something here.
