Congrats to Bill Irwin, the first blind hiker to complete the Appalachian
Trail! His story of pluck and perseverance can be found in file area 12 of
the Handicap News BBS (203-337-1607) as HIKER.ZIP.
PS--Since this is my first visit on Blink Talk, please allow me to introduce
myself, I'm Earl Appleby, director of CURE, a nationwide network of the
impaired, infirm, their families, and those who simply care.  You may learn
about my father, who LIVED nearly 10 years in coma, and about CURE, which he
inspired by downloadin VUTSIGNS.ZIP and CURE.ZIP in file area 26 of Handicap
News (see previous number).
