Karen Clark, Raleigh, NC:

In response to Jake Joehl's letter in September's Ziegler, I agree that the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and American Council of the Blind (ACB) need to work together. How sad that we lost the benefits we could have gained from being included (as deaf people were) in the Americans with Disabilities Act because of the dissent between these organizations of blind people.

I would like to see ACB and NFB reach the next level of maturity and work together for the empowerment of all people who are blind.
