Hi Kathy,
Glad to see you on blink talk and VIBUG.  I would look into savings bank
life in Massachusetts.  It is a good value.  I spent a short stint as a
life insurance salesman many years ago, and most companies do not
discriminate for life insurance because of blindness.  I guess actuarily
speaking, we blinks live about as long as anyone else.  Good luck.

... Ted
