[Nfbmt] Doctor Nemeth Passes on!

Fri Oct 4 20:21:48 UTC 2013

I think we still could do something.  They're not in school 24/7/365.  I
think something needs to be done about Braille literacy.
I think you can be a role model just in the way you live your life.

If we could get into the schools where we could be a role model that would
work. 
We have asked Pat would this work, where with the privacy is the way it is.
