[stylist] article in local newspaper: students in shades

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

I've posted this on writers-chat, where we can discuss this freely, 
since it is about blindness and not writing
a program in missouri to train sighted people to be O&M instructors 
came to lawrence kansas yesterday, put the students under shades and 
had them walk around.
sadly, they had the wrong cane, the rollerball cane, heavy, with the 
roller tip to be rolled instead of being tapped.
there are comments after the article.  here's the link:
