Computers that talk, that have Braille display, or are in other ways adaptive are there, in the largest collection of such equipment anywhere. But all life eventually comes to an end. Blind or sighted, leader or follower, there comes a time when each of us will live on in the memory of those who knew us. I don't think we should be sad. My personal belief about people we care about the most, when they die, is that I believe they can come back to us, and be with us, at any time of crisis or of joy in our lives.
Blindness knows no borders.
Our issues are the same ones blind folks, those losing visions, those who know they are at risk, and those who work with the blind face in any part of the world. Dr. Jernigan knew this, and the world knew it. People came from far away to learn from him, to be inspired by him, and to take his message home. He said he had thought this was impossible for a blind person. But then he noticed there were ways how he could do it.
