I am a avid collector of statues, and use them in my classroom experiences. I have most animals in one form or another and a few like the Umpire State Building and the Space Needle that I Picked up on vacation. Am searching for a fairly detailed Statue of liberty right now, that won't put me back too much, smile. Shelley L.

Re: bksvol-discuss Digest V2 #51 Oh, I went to the Ohio State School for Blind and we had wonderful models of things like the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and maps. We had standing maps of the continents and pieces that fit in for the countries. They were wooden. And the US. I guess they don't do that any more. i went to public schools in miami and we certainly didn't have any of that. I had some amazing teachers that went above and beyond what a teacher was required to do at all grade levels and in to college but not the majority of them. There are rare moments I feel cheeted. I think i could be a very visual person lol. That must have been encredable to feel all those things and have some kind of picture in your head. how many others had that experience and where couldl you find stuff like that?
