I thought I would share with folks on the list information about my
almamater The Hadley School for the Blind where I received my high school
diploma.  When visiting The Hadley School for the Blind web site at
http://WWW.hadley-school.org/ you can learn more about the course areas
mentiond below as well as finding out enrollment proceedures.  I can say
that Hadley was a big help to me with helping me earn my high school
diploma as nobody at the School for the Blind did anything to help me as
they dropped their acdemic program.  It took about four years to complete
same as any other high school program.
