[stylist] Kuell article in Braille Monitor (off topic)

Sorry to hear about your misadventure with NFB politics in Connecticut.  In Maryland, we have thus far been blessed with ethical, competent, leadership.  Before that, I was involved in some turbulent personality issues in the DC affiliate, and before that I was in Iowa when they had the commission wars; so I know this junk goes on in the federation from time to time.

BTW, Mike Gosse was president in MD for a couple of years.  I understand he was president in Connecticut a while back.  Did you know him well?

Shawn

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your kind words. The ironic thing that has happened since Gary Wunder asked to use this essay (Tom Scanlon never asked) is that I've been censured by the president of the NFB of CT for questioning unethical behavior by her and the board of directors. Although I didn't question the behavior publicly, I was kicked off the NFB of CT listserve, and resigned as editor of The Federationist, where I've been the editor for 6 years. The experience has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so to speak.

I had no idea Connecticut ever extended that far. I live on the very Western edge (I could walk to New York state if I was so inclined) and Scranton is about an hour and 45 minutes from here. Some day I'll have to catch a bus and attend one of your book signings.
