[Ohio-talk] FW: You Will Appreciate This

[Deborah Kendrick]

A couple weeks ago, I heard a blind attorney speak -- he is making quite a
speaking circuit, too -- and he blatantly said out loud to a whole crwod of
people that blind people can't read!  This guy is totally blind, was born
blind, learned (or so he said0 to read braille asa kid and memorizes
everything.  I wanted to cry!  Or maybe throw things at him!

If these "legally blind" people are so great at reading print why aren't
they doing it?  No wonder the employment rate is so much higher than it is
for braille readers.  Go braille!!!
