Tom, my concerns have to do with my being told by the ARRL/VES office that a
blind person cannot perform the required duties of a VE specifically because of
blindness.  We'll leave out all the blind teachers running around for now <g>.
I just wanted to get input from other blind VEs before I decided whether or not
to ask for a ruling from the FCC on this as the position of the ARRL/VEC office
seems to be that a blind person cannot comply with the requirements of VEs in
Part 97 of the FCC rules.
