[nfbwatlk] New to NFB

[Dianne Ferrell]

Hello, Kristina,

I have worked as a teacher of the visually impaired and am presently doing 
private tutoring in braille.  I am a Seattle resident and if I may be of 
assistance, please let me know.

The NFB is a wonderful organization with which to be connected.
