From my friend Andy w9njy.


The coolest thing at Dayton is coffee.  My friend John K8WDN wanted to look at High Sierra mobile antennas.  We walk up to their space and one side of it has a coffee pot and a bunch of half cups laid out.  John started to ask the guy about a part he was looking at on the display table.  The man said, "Well, what are you talking about?"  It took my friend several minutes to figure out the guy behind the table was blind.  John handed him the part and then got a description of what it was.  The blind guy was also the one offering and selling coffee.  I had a cup and it was perfect French roast.  I bought a bag of ground.  He roasts coffee for a living!  His coffee company is called "the unseen bean."  There is a sketch of his dog on the label of the coffee.  His dog has a mask drawn over his eyes.  He isn't seeing either.  The back of the label gives the history of this guy.  He spent the first 25 years of his blind working life as an auto mechanic.  He has a web site if you want to see his coffee for sale.  Dolly and I always travel with a coffee pot.  So we've already had his French Roast in our cheap motel room.  It's great and I'm going to buy some more today.  

73,

Andy
