Please send your resume to me at ddavis at blindinc.org.  I work for BLIND,
Inc., the NFB center located in Minnesota.  Our State Services for the Blind

Andrews. I posted it below in case you didn’t see it.  Minnesota is somewhat
cooler than Alabama, although people who move here like it so much that they
stay here.

Thanks Dick,
I wwish I had become a member long ago. You guys are all full of knowledge. 
But, even if I were not looking for a job, I appreciate the long distance 
friends I have made. With my job, I never had time to chat with people. As 
the Executive Director of an agency, I stayed very busy. It's really 
different to be seeking employment when for years, I put so many persons 
with disabilities to work.
Where are you from Dick?
Me, I live in Alabama, have left the state only a few times. Once was wwhen 
I was in the Marine Corp. But, am willing to relocate if necessary.
