I have written previously about what this organization has meant to me, and how it changed my life.  I have tried to repay it in some part, successfully I hope.

Two years ago, I ended my service as treasurer after 40 years.  Alice has picked that up well.

While thinking about why I am a member of the National Federation of the Blind, many reasons came to mind.  I could talk about how our approach to life offers the most hope for blind people.  I could mention various discrimination cases we have won that would not have happened if not for us.  I could talk about how we have moved large corporations toward providing better accessibility to their software and web sites.  There are other accomplishments I could mention as well, and they would all be true.
