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

Mon Aug 27 21:24:10 UTC 2012

Cathy-Alice,

So sorry to hear about your fall, but very glad you seem to be doing

such a shock and it seems to take longer to recuperate. Hang in there and
feel better soon.
Judy
