[Mdabs] [Nfbmd] 2012 BISM Student Weekend Retreat and Monday atthe NABSWinter Seminar

Sun Jan 22 01:53:55 UTC 2012

Hey Josh,

I know; I don't know if I'm going yet either.  If I am, I 
probably won't have my laptop, but will definitely have my Apex, 
and if they have wifi, I can chat with you and tell you what's 
going on.  I can also record it for you if you want.

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan
