[Travelandtourism] {Disarmed} What do youthink aboutthisarticleDinner train story in the ColumbiaTribune in Missouri

I got you people talking though didn't I.

I mean Maurice and myself post things and we are hoping others will do the same, it is also nice to hear about other disabilities, since I work with all different disabilities with my agency, and we do have members of the NFB, who do use wheelchairs and other devices like scooters etc.

So it does help.

  There are a lot of places where Braille menus aren't available.  In that 
  situation, I'd ask that the waiter read the menu to me.  It really seems 
  like comparing apples and oranges.  If there isn't a ramp and a wide enough 
  doorway, the wheelchair person has no access at all.  We can get on the 
  train, sit and either ask for the menu to be read or read it ourselves with 
  the KNFB Reader and order our food.  So, I don't really see the two as being 
  the same at all.
