[Nfbf-l] Engineer who is blind

[TaraPrakash]

I remember there was a blind guy from Florida who spoke briefly in one of 
the conventions, not sure state or national, that he was assembling a car.
I also remember reading about a person who worked for NASA and he was blind.

Our own Asli is some sort of engineer too. Probably she knows about more.
