As you know Paul, I gave S and S every assistance I could to advertise and
recruit a blind person with good Braille skills to become part of the
company before I left. Sadly, however, nothing was done about it, I moved
away, and thankfully we all appear to be happy with the paths we have taken.
(smile).

i think it is a great pity that a company the size of sight and sound
chooses not to employ fulltime a blind person in such a role! this calls
into question your commitment to employing blind people in my view! very
poor indeed!
