<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm originally from Brockton myself. I was born
there in 1957 and lived there for most of my young life. My family moved to
Texas in 1980 and I followed in 1981. I joined the NFB and what was then called
"The Associated Blind of Greater Brockton" now the National Federation of the
Blind of Brockton assuming that chapter still exists. I live with my wife Mary
in San Antonio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> So we don't bore these folks
with Shoe City talk I'll keep this one short too. Here's hoping all is well with
you and the city of my birth. Great to meet you.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi there everyone.</DIV>
<DIV>My name is Jonathan but most of my friends call me Jon.</DIV>
<DIV>Before I talk a little bit about myself by way of introducing myself to
this list I should probably start off by saying that I don’t tend to do a
whole lot with online list serves for the blind, but I thought that this might
be an interesting way to get to know new people.So if any of what I have to
say interests anyone feel free to write me off list and say hello.</DIV>
<DIV>I am 29 years of age and I should also let people know that I am not from
West Virginia but from Massachusetts a city called Brockton located about 45
minutes south of Boston.</DIV>
<DIV>I’m sure people are probably wondering why I would bother posting to a
list for a state where I don’t live, but I have always maintained that it’s
best to not limit yourself because you never know who you might meet in life
and it’s nice to get to know people from other places.</DIV>
<DIV>I’m about 5 9, have brown hair, hazel colored eyes and weigh about 250
lbs.</DIV>
<DIV>I am totally blind and have been since birth.</DIV>
<DIV>I have a condition known as Micro Opthelmia which means little to no
eyes.</DIV>
<DIV>Some of my interests include reading, listening to all types of music,
talking online and on the phone, going out to dinner, sometimes to the movies,
and browsing around in book and music stores to name only a few.</DIV>
<DIV>I am currently single and do not have any kids but like many people out
their I’m waiting for the right one to come along.</DIV>
<DIV>I really enjoy talking to new people so if any of what I said interests
you feel free to contact me off list and say hello.</DIV>
<DIV>My email address is</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="mailto:jmatte28@comcast.net">jmatte28@comcast.net</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also have Skype though I’m not always on it, but if you let me know you
would like to talk on their we might be able to work something out.</DIV>
<DIV>My skype screen name is jmatte02301</DIV>
<DIV>I hope to hear from you soon</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for reading my intro and have a good day.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
