Howard, on the subject of employment, is the unemployment rate of the blind
still in excess of 70% or more?  I am not affiliated with  the ACB or NFB,
so don't read any of their publications on a regular basis.  I was always
suspicious of such claims as all of my blind friends were gainfully
employed.  I attended Perkins thru my freshman year and then transferred to
my local public high school.  I still believe that had I stayed at Perkins,
I would never have gotten into MIT, or any other science or engineering
colleges or universities.  Naturally I had many friends from my Perkins
days, and thru my adult life, they were all employed in their chosen fields;
teachers, attorneys, accountants, piano tuners and the like.

Ron, I will trust your research.
My data is subjective.  Again, my data is the most important data for me, 
because it is my job hunt.
I also have two disabilities.
I am beginning to think age is bigger than blindness.
I always got a job before, and I was always blind.
Since I passed 55, it has been much harder.  After 60, not even an 
interview.
