[Nfbf-l] Thank you very much for your support

[Sherri]

Yasen, you are so right. You really have changed what it means to be blind 
at your university. You were always an inspiration to me. I admire your 
determination. Just think, you came here 8 years ago pretty much on your own 
and look at the tremendous changes in your life now. I am very fortunate to 
know you and Emmi and to have you as a part of NFBF. I Know you will keep up 
the good work. Congratulations again.

Sherri
