Hi guys,
Sixty Minutes called to let me know that the special segment on
Technology and the Handicapped is scheduled to air on this Sunday,
March 29th.  Most of you know that the program will deal with
technologies designed to benefit several disabilities--such as
wheelchairs for athletes.  A part of the segment will deal with the
blind.  Ted Henter and I were interviewed at separate times.  My
interview focused on my work with the abacus, the Cranmer Modified
Perkins Brailler, and some NFB products.  The interview lasted for
more than three hours during which time I mentioned NFB quite
often.  I have no idea of what will be selected from the interview
for the minute or two that I expect to be on the show.
Ted Henter is a long-time friend of mine and an all-round splendid
fellow.  He became blind as an adult and continued to be quite
active in water skiing, among other sports.  He is the owner-
president of Henter-joyce, and wrote the original JAWS software. 
Did I mention that ted is also a strong member and supporter of
NFB?  
I haven't talked to Ted about his 60 minutes interview, so I don't
know anything about it except that it will be quite interesting.
Tim Cranmer
P.S.--It could be bumped, of course, if there is a late breaking scandle.
In which case, they'll call to let me know.  TVC
