I am working with The Georgia Foundation for the Blind, whose info was
given to me by the teenager that announced I am the coolest person on
the face of the planet.  I have approached The Emory Eye Clinic but got
pretty will blown off.  I tried the same thing with The Atlanta Center
for the Blind and got the aame response.  Unfortunately, this seems to
be a place where they, knowingly or not, hold their clients back.  I am
hoping to get some good contacts with the foundation mentioned above.  I
am NOT going to give up.  This is too important to me.
