Dear Dr Smith,

     Everything seems to be in order for me to bring some color-coded pictures to the Conference next week.  I am looking forward to meeting you and having a chance to show what is possible to make art museums more blind friendly and more informative for those with less than perfect sight.  Eva Ball from the OSU Urban Arts Space will be with me.  The Urban Arts Space has done quite a bit in making their gallery accessible  -  much more than many others I have seen.   http://uas.osu.edu/exhibition/tactilecolor

     There was an article about the exhibit in the Columbus Dispatch.  I asked the reporter if it could be read by JAWS.  He did not know, but said that the Columbus Dispatch was read by the Ohio Radio Reading Services daily.  Could you, would you, take a minute and tell me if this article is accessible to the blind via email?

I am learning what all I need to do in order to be an advocate for the blind.  Help me along the way!

Sincerely,
                 SallyB
