[stylist] Book about a deafblind guy

[LoriStay at aol.com]

I'm sorry that my friend's information was incorrect.   however, here is a 
question. If there is a need for an organization of the blind, why not start 
one?   Start small.   That's easiest.   Most successful ventures started small, 
and built on that foundation.   The NFB began in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, 
and even though there were representatives from other areas of the U.S., there 
were not many at first.
