YIPPEE!!! And thank you Peter and David for speaking up and standing 
tall.  Hopefully this will end this behavior, which I question motives 
and agenda.  Perhaps he can use the internet for increaseing his 
knowledge of NFB and of the Conklin Center. I have recieverd many 
emails from this unknown person, who somehow attains email list???  
Look him up on the web...interesting.   Again thanks David and Peter!!!
