A short article in the "At the Foundation" section of July QST mentioned a
new radio club at the Texas School for the Blind. That got me to wondering
about how many such clubs used to exist, as well as how many are still
around.

I know that there were once clubs at Overbrook School in Philadelphia, and
at the Western Pennsylvania School in Pittsburgh. The Seeing Eye still
maintains a station at their training facility. I think there was also a
club at the old Arkansas Enterprises (Now Lions World Services) in Little
Rock.

My school in Mississippi organized a club briefly in the mid 70's.
Unfortunately, that happened after my graduation. The primary mover and
shaker in the club changed jobs and left town, and the equipment was stolen
during a school building expansion in the early 80s.

It would be neat to collect a list and brief history of these clubs, and to
see whose out there now.

Anyone want to roll this snowball a little further?
