We don't have anyone of the "who can" group ourselves. Those who do don't
know how lucky they are.

in particular if they call you by another "blind person" or "handicapped
person's" name. :)
A friend of ours was commenting on that just this last Sunday afternoon, how
someone called her "joy" instead of her name. In fact, this is a very
gregarious and obviously "herself" type person, not someone innocuous.
I read "ball four," by Jim Bouton, and during spring training one year,
while he was on the mound, a coach yelled at him, "chuck it in here, Bob,"
and he was not happy at all. It happens, in the "sighted" world when there
are a lot of participants, but it seems to me that we get categorized as
"them, or "they," more often don't you all think? :)
and, of course, we've all heard of the "who cans," as in "do you have
someone "who can," help you?"
Karen and I always are looking for those "who kins," hoping that the Klan of
who kins can come see us sometimes, in particular, it seems when all else is
lost. :)
Maybe we could spread those who kins around amongst all of us. :)
These days, they call it "networking." :)
