[Ohio-Talk] Informative Conversation

[Smith, JW]

Dear NFB of Ohio Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

On Thursday, October 24th, I had the privilege of participating in a public conversation with the author of the book about Beep Baseball. As some of you may or may not know, he is an Ohio University faculty member and in fact, before he started writing the book, we had coffee and talked about it. I must say that if you haven't read the book, it is well written and although he is sighted, he captures both the essence and soul of the players, the culture, and the game itself. Below is a link to the conversation on YouTube and I tell you it has been while since I've had so much fun talking about a topic about us. I believe that the conversation will speak for itself, but I have no doubt that his book will be a foundational work for those who want to use it for future research in this area.

You should never look down on someone unless you're giving them a helping hand up.
