One would think that such a small division there wouldn't be a whole lot of work terms of being president. So far, three weeks in, know that is hardly true. I am of course very much aware that you don't run for a leadership position in the National Federation of the Blind unless you are prepared to do the work whatever it is. After doing a lot of thinking, I wanted to take a moment to thank the above mentioned people and those who are forgotten to mention in this email or the mentoring over the years. While they are still very much with us. The last year unfortunately has taught me thank the people who have mentors you whether still with us. Because of course you have to think of those who aren't with us. In other words better to think the people while they're still very much living. I'm not saying this to be dark or morbid but to make sure that I give thanks word is do.

>> Anyone on the list has suggestions on how the national deaf blind division can help deaf blind Washingtonians, please feel free to drop me a line. I do read everything that gets posted to this list when I can, I know that I don't post very much if all. But I do read list email when I have the time. So it is always good to read email from the state that I essentially grew up in. Here's hoping that everyone Sunday is going while? Then here's hoping that you guys have a great week. I look forward to seeing the responses to this email. Here's hoping that the dictation turned out well enough that it can be read without too much trouble. If there's something that he didn't understand please feel free to write me.
