Hello all,

I have been offline for a week so this may be old news.  Ben Underwood had a
remarkable echolocation ability.

I am sad to say he died a few years ago at only 16 years old.  His blindness
was caused by cancer of the retina and his eyes were removed when he was 2.
Unfortunately the cancer returned and he died of brain cancer.
