[NFBWATLK] A wonderful convention

[Kaye Kipp]

Well, I get it though.  One time, I was given a farewell gift from my class
when I left the Ontario School for the Blind, and I was so overwhelmed I
really couldn't say anything except thank you. And I add my congratulations.

Don, I was so surprised that you didn't make a speech, and I get it that you
are having a hard time with the closing of the school My phone always works.
