<p class="MsoNormal">Since some of you remember Eric Duffy and all that he has done for blind people in Ohio and the NFB of Ohio, I thought you might be interested in knowing that he has appendicitis and is facing surgery later this morning. Because of his
previous brush with cancer in the early nineties, they do not know what they are getting into. He may lose part of his colon. It just depends on what they find. They will take a good look around while they have him open. This means that recovery will be unfortunately
rather unpleasant and uncomfortable. Please be thinking of Eric as he faces this challenge.<o:p></o:p></p>

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live
the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
