[Nfbofnc] Nfbofnc Digest, Vol 84, Issue 1

[Cynthia Bennett]

I am really sorry. I spoke with the guy, Brice, and his girlfriend
beforehand, and they both told me that he would use his cane. I guess
he decided that he did not want his video to be judged differently
because of blindness, and I never found that out. I am very sorry for
inconveniencing you. In my opinion, I think it would have been  a
great opportunity, and I am not sure why he changed his mind. So
again, I sincerely apologize. I am embarrassed that I passed along
wrong information.
