[nfbwatlk] FW: Documentary Series is Looking for Blind Expectant Mothers (NOT SPAM)

[David Andrews]

I had mixed feelings about distributing the message, but did so 
because I was asked by an affiliate leader.  Later, Carla McQuillin 
told me she had a conversation with the woman, and felt better about 
the whole thing -- the woman did understand that primarily the 
experience would be the same for a blind person.
