[NFBMT] Braille Monitor Article

[Jim Marks]

Thanks, All!

It was a fun article to write.  Actually, it started out as a Facebook post,
and Corb O'Connor from Virginia passed it to Braille Monitor Editor Gary
Wunder.  I plan to write more articles in the future.  We all should do our
best to tell our stories so that we can win the hearts and minds of others
in our efforts to live the lives we want.

Best!

Love it Jim.

Hadn't really thought about it, but the most recent letter verifying my
blindness is dated 1988.  Of course the acuity and visual field subtending
bla bla bla are completely out of date since all I have now is light
perception, but it strikes me as funny that I might have to get a new letter
for any reason.  Am I going to get "better"? (smile) Dan
