yes to any of these questions, you may be interested in attending a Trenton
Thunder baseball game, the Double A affiliate of the New York Yankees, on
Sunday, June 11. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:00 pm, however prior to the
first pitch, pre-game ceremonies will honor NFBNJ Capitol Chapter member, Don
Wardlow. He broadcasted baseball, football and basketball on WGLS, the college
radio station at Rowan University in Glassboro. From 1991-2002 Don became the
first blind radio broadcaster in pro baseball. There is now a second who may not
have been hired without the work Don did earlier on. Finally Don has written a
baseball blog and is working on his autobiography, targeting blind readers and
hoping they enjoy his story.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

enter the discussion, press star 6 and you will be released from the “mute” mode
and able to participate. It is also highly recommended that each person wishing
to speak state his or her name and wait for the moderator to recognize you
before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the floor at one
time. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman",serif'>We recently
discovered some vintage NFB music boxes with the Security/Equality/Opportunity
logo that play “Glory, Glory Federation.” We are making them available for $5.00
each, plus shipping and handling, while supplies last. Please note that these
music boxes must be shipped via UPS. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman",serif'>If you are feeling
nostalgic, you might like to add an NFB stoneware mug to your order. These
handsome mugs with NFB in raised Braille, which are now $5.00 each, show the
older side of the NFB headquarters building and feature the same triangle logo
as the music box.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
