[Arizona-students] Amusement Park outing

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Gabe,

It is fine to call them as you see them.  In fact, I often disagree with NFB 
approaches.  On the other hand, it is important for us to disagree 
tactfully.

hello MR. President, please excuse my non intended disrespect in my
previous messages.

I in fact do not hold a view point that often agrees with either
group. yet I am on my board for a reason and which is the same reason
why you serve yours.

I am the biggest advocate in regards to braille. and I am a very
agressive self advocate for intigrating with society not educating in
the fashion that you appearent intend to.

I am sorry i just call them how I see them. my own group doesn't even
agree with my views on blindness.

I guess in all honesty it was the wording of the message that got to me.
