[stylist] Braille-- Research in the Rockies

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Thank you Lori, I saw this one on most other NFB lists- if I saw it here, I
couldn't put a date on it, but good to have it here, now. That would be a
very interesting event to attend. (I'm not sure what I could add to that
meeting. One thought was to suggest, for a educational drama, they get
someone to present my Louis Braille speech. Tweak it where necessary to fit
the event.) We, the Division have our writing contest for blind youth, and
all the material has to be in Braille. A good thing, but in my head I can't
see how to use this to further the Rocky Mountain Braille gathering. Does
any one else have something fitting for the campaign.

this came to the editors and journalist's list, but it seems to be of
interest to our group too, so I am sharing it.
