Carl,
I didn't get the message until now.
Thanks for sending it.
Do let us know if a light is put in the area for Kayla,
It is way to bad that she didn't write her own message.
this is the only way we can get students interested in Mab.
Thanks for reading.

Last night I sent this email out and it never came back to me. So I am 
wondering if anyone else got it.  Here is the email.

Everyone:  Kayla is back on campus at Carroll College and yesterday I 
stopped to visit with her.  In our conversation she asked if I could look 
into see if a auditory signal could be put in on the corner of Benton and 
Euclid in Helena.  She has to cross that street to get to the grocery store 
and it is very difficult for her to tell when traffic is stopped.  So I 
called a friend at the Department of Transporation and ask how or who we 
should talk to about getting an auditor traffic signal on that corner.  He 
talked with the district manager for the Helena district and evidently 
Helena is about to get all new traffic signals all over the town.  But the 
traffic engineers had not thought about auditory signals, but they are 
interested in learning and considering them.  Kayla said that when she was 
in Poland that all of the intersection had auditory signals that make a low 
clicking sound that was not obnoxious like the one on Eleventh and Roberts 
in Helena (by the mall).  So with the new traffic systems coming to Helena 
and the district engineer interested in the possible, the association has an 
opportunity to get something positive accomplished regarding traffic.  Since 
the summer school is in Helena now, it would be great to have all of the 
traffic signals working for the blind as well as everyone else.  The 
district engineer suggested that I write him a letter telling him about what 
I would like to happen.  If any one else would like to write him or call 
him, his name is Michael Johnson and his address and phone number are:  200 
Smelter Avenue NE; PO Box 1359; Great Falls, MT 59403-1359; Phone: 
406.454.5880 | 888.730.0898
