[nfb-talk] Introduction of New Member and Question

[David Evans]

Dear All,

I can give you the names of location of a couple of Blind sports announcers,
but I can only give the name of one and the location of the other.
There is a Blind sports caster named Larry Tomachek who use to announce the
base ball games for several years in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, but has moved
out of the area and I do not know where he is now.
The other guy still announces for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and was a speaker
at the Florida State Convention this last year in Tampa.  I do not remember
his name, but I bet someone on this list or the Florida list serve does.

David Evans, NFBF

Hi, Listers:
    My name is Chris Jones from Tacoma, Washington.  My wife, Judy, is the 
President of the NFB or Washington--Pierce County here in Tacoma.  Both of 
us are blind.
I also work as the Student Disability Specialist at Clover Park Technical 
College in Lakewood, near Tacoma.  I have a query with which I need some 
help.  I have a potential student who is totally blind and he wants to 
enroll in our Radio Broadcasting Program.  His primary goal is to be a disc 
jockey.  Our degree program is more intense than that and the vocational 
instructor has spoken to some software vendors who seem to think that the 
graphics used will make it impossible for this student to work through all 
of the curricula involved.  He knows of blind people who have been 
successful, but I need to be put in touch with someone who may know how to 
work around some of this, on behalf of this young man.  Please feel free to 
respond to this note or to me privately at my home e-mail address at 
chris_l_jones at earthlink.net or, if you wish to contact me at work, my phone 
number is (253) 589-5767 and my work e-mail is chris.jones at cptc.edu.
Thank you all in advance for any suggestions.
Yours in the NFB,
Chris Jones
