The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back

Subject: [Ohio-talk] Happy Birthday to the Rock

Over the years I have sent several emails with this very subject line on January 21.So it will come as no surprise to most people on this list that I am wishing Paul Dressell a happy birthday. 

The Rock seems to be a fitting name for him, because he let’s nothing stop him. Some things might slow him down a little, but nothing stops him. Those of you who know the challenges he has faced over the last several years know the truth of that. 

I called him the Rock before the challenges arose however, because he has always been someone I could count on since I’ve known him. Many times in our friendship I have turned to him for advice and guidance. I have also done some fact checking with him. Many times I have said Paul what day was it on a given date. I’ve only proven him wrong once. I finally had to tell him that I was there when my son was born, so I know what day it was.

Paul is a good friend and a solid Federationist. I haven’t called him the rock a lot, because I thought he might start calling Bernie Little Rock.

Happy Birthday my friend!
