[nfbwatlk] Fw: CNN Breaking News

[carl jarvis]

Thanks for the kind words Dan.  I would like nothing better than to see you 
and Renee, but the Gods are not in our corner at the moment.  I will not 
labor the subject other than to say that not only am I ill with the flu, as 
is Cathy, but we are rather limited financially, due to the new Independent 
Living contract and the complexity of generating pay for the work done.  One 
day I will share more of this DSB debacle.  Finally, we blew what reserve we 
had by attending last weekend's WCB convention in Vancouver.
I do keep tabs on you, reading your Monitor contributions, and snooping 
around on the NFBW list.
Until we do see one another again, stay healthy and involved on behalf of 
blind people.  There are dark days ahead for blind folks.  We will need to 
fight hard to hold the line.

Your old friend,
Carl
