Because I am in West Virginia there is little chance of your running into
me, but I, for one, would not mind your speaking to me at all. Even though I am
not sensitive about the subject in principle, I get a bit tired of the main
topic of conversation with every new person I meet being my lack of eyesight.
It would be nice to encounter someone who could talk about Bookshare, which
is something along with the NLS and RFB&D that I have never encountered a
sighted person who has ever heard of it. In a message dated 8/27/2008 10:51:51

Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe the next time I see a blind person I
will. The young lady I saw was alone; the gentleman was with two friends and
having a conversation so I wouldn't want to interrupt--and my husband was with
me and he gets emabarrassed--but the next I am alone and the person is I think
I will. Then if by chance the person doesn't know about bookshare I can tell
him/her
