Well Al, I see it this way! We as individuals have to do as much as we 
posibly can to help ourselves and our fellow blind.  Maybe it's 
changing a local law, a state law, maybe it's helping a new dog guide, 
maybe it's jumping all over the local transportation system for the 
handicapped, you get my drift.  If we don't take initiative then things 
will always stay the same.  There are issues where we have to band 
together such as the airlines, the issues concerning Vending Operators, 
Lighthouse workers, discrimination on the National level whatever it 
may be.  Right now the NFB seems to be on a course of internal struggle 
with its own so it seems to me that the best organization going with 
the best leadership at the present time is A CB. This who080628All this 
about the NFB upsets me to and gets me going but thereis work to be 
done and however it can get done is the important thing. Grant
