Shelly,
I have met Mr. Kurzweil before, so I know how you feel. Actually, I had a
similar experience when I met Dr. Abraham Nemeth in 1993. This is the man
who created the Braille math code that so many of us fret over. I was
attending a teachers' conference in California when I was a senior in high
school. I had been asked to be on a panel talking about tactile
illustration. I took the time off from school and attended all the
sessions. One of the featured speakers was Dr. Nemeth. I had always
thought the Nemeth code was created in the nineteenth century. I was
introduced to him, and I stood there and let my mouth drop into my shoes. I
just didn't know what to say. I this k I eventually said that I hadn't
known that he was alive. I saw Dr. Nemeth three months later at the NFB
convention. He remembered meeting me in Sacramento, and I felt slightly
embarrassed. Still, it was a very cool experience.
Have fun with Mr. Kurzweil!
Kasondra Payne
