Every now and then, there is an unexpected blessing. I hope this guy will 
get some effective devices on the market that can be of benefit to us. 
Thanks for sharing.

In God
We Trust,

Carolyn

Hello everyone,
Every once in awhile, someone comes along who wants to do something for us 
blind folks. Last sunday I met with a  student from the University of 
Cincinnati School of Design. He is interested in inventing a device that 
would be cheap and assist with travel. It would combine lasers and vibrating 
motors to impart information. I talked with him, then invited him to my 
home. You might say, I pulled him in to the deep end. He saw everything in 
my office including the OPTACON. Of course, he had never heard of it and was 
fascinated with it. He was able to recognize a few letters. He appreciated 
the potential of it and wondered why it is considered "old technology". I 
don't know what his project will be now but it was fun spending three hours 
with him.
