[nabs-l] Cane as an ID

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I really like the telescopic canes from NFB.  During the day I can
carry it around and people clearly know what it is; but I've found
that they're good enough for use if necessary as well.  They're also
the most compact option available if space is also somewhat of a
concern.  HTH.
