Hi everyone!Yes, it is interesting to share stories from time to time. It brings the group closer.

Bookshare friends,As I don't have a story to tell, it is very interesting to hear about your past. It helps the rest of us understand where you are coming from!I would like to encourage the stories to keep coming: Was there an accident in your life? Were you born blind or unable to move? Then we can celebrate with you as Roger and Scott are doing!

Hey Roger, Your note caused me to do some calculations of my own.Today is 38 years, 4 months, 6 days since I received a letter from my ski instructor certification trainer that I had passed and would I please sign on as a teacher at his ski school.Today is also 38 years, 5 months, 4 days since I was paralyzed. I never became a ski instructor. Glad you are celebrating this personal milestone with us. Thanks!

It is likely that no one here cares, but this is on my mind and there is no one else to mention it to. Today is the twenty-third anniversary of the last time I saw a human being well enough to tell what they looked like. That means that I have now spent just over forty per cent of my life being blind. _ _ _ "The ruling class makes wars and the working class fights them." - Eugene V.
