[nfbwatlk] top ten reasons for using solid fiberglass cane

[Alco Canfield]

Well, I enjoy my collapsible cane when I am in restaurants with tables for 
two, etc.  It can really come in handy, but I have to admit it is not nearly 
as durable as my solid cane.  Some folks have gun racks.  I have a cane rack 
with all kinds of relics from the past.  Just need some tips for them. 
However, you never know when I might need them or a friend might.
