[Nfbf-l] Conklin center for the Blind question: very immediate response is fully requested and fully needed

[petercerullo at aol.com]

Hello David,

I agree with your response to this young man's ignorance.
If Mr. Kaiser was an active member of the NFB he most certainly would
know that the Conklin Center is a well respected institution, privately
funded and community oriented. The Conklin Center's Director Robert
Kelly along with his well trained dedicated staff work diligently on
the necessary training that truly prepares its clientele for
integration into society.  As the President of the NFB Greater Daytona
Beach Chapter I have several Conklin Center alumni as members and their
hard work and dedication to this NFB chapter is well appreciated.

You have asked this question before and people obviously don't know
the answers to your questions.  Further some of your questions can
only be answered by the Center itself.

Once again you have spammed our lists with a bunch of junk
questions.  And ... I am not sure you are a NFB member, my friends
from Florida can clear this up, and if not you need to stop acting
like you are.
