I say that cautiously, because we don’t want to flood the list with chat that is better left between two or just a few people.<br><br>By way of introduction, my name is Eric Duffy. I moved to Newark in May to begin working at the Commission for the Blind and Visually Im paired.<br><br>My son Lucas who is 17 and a senior in high school joined me in June after finishing his junior year of high school in Columbus Ohio.<br><br>I am working as a Technological Support Specialist for the Commission, and I truly enjoy the job and appreciate the opportunity I have been given.<br><br>I want to publicly thank those who welcomed me to the state and the Federation family here both before and since I arrived.<br><br>My deepest appreciation goes to Dan Frye and Renee West who have made Lucas and me a part of their family.<br><br>Joe, Ruffalo and Nicky Gacos were part of the welcoming team before I arrived, and I appreciate there continued friendship. Rebecca Irving and Rick Fox have welcomed me to the Northern Chapter. <br><br>I look forward to the continued development of these friendships and to getting to know all of you in the months and years ahead.<br><br>Eric Duffy<br>_______________________________________________<br>NFBNJ mailing list<br>NFBNJ@nfbnet.org<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbnj_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBNJ:<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbnj_nfbnet.org/marinolouisj%40aol.com</body></html>
