I'm speaking as an ex chapter president of eleven years, state P.R. chairperson for five, State board member, and one who worked as hard as I possible could and basically got shot down for it because, well I wasn't ratical enough I guess. Grant Tandy Way had amessage on here that I saw a couple of days ago that said something to the effect that unless it is a case that will benefit the organizations either ACB or NFB that neither organization is to the blind individual's benefit. Regretibly I think he's right. Tom, I had and still have a tremendous ammount of respect for Dr. Journigan and aways will as heHe always made sense, uhleld the NFB phlosophy, and was a real roll model model as at least he made the appearance of really caring about the organization, but notjust the officers and the board members on the national level, but also the people who worked on the state and local levels and that is what has changed so dromatically.
