| "I don't know if you realize what an inspiration you are to
others as you discuss your journey from the time you lost your sight to the
success you are today. The people in the audience were spellbound by your
remarks and I thought the question and answer period was especially
interesting. We work very hard to bring outstanding programs to the
Evanston Public Library and yours certainly was one of the best." |
-- Glennis G. Lundberg
