Thanks for the message.  I have noted that ACB has been becoming more
"activist"--I believe you used that word in a message once upon a time long
long ago.  I don' think you'll find anyone from either organization arguing
about the fact that there need to be standards, quality services, good
attitudes by service delivery systems, etc.  I think, for a long time, it
seemed that there wasn't work in ACB to improve a lot of things--there was
apathy--but I do note a change toward more desire to bring more action to bear
on things.

In louisiana, ACB and NFB have not agreed always on stuff, but we've come
together on some things--liek some legislation, etc.  I believe in
organizations fof the blind working on their own agendas, and if the groups
can work on something together, fine.  As I said long time ago--we've got
diverse religious groups, we've got political parties, etc.
Again, thanks, as always, my friend, for your message.
