AgeofEnsor

In preparing for publication the story I wrote for the October newsletter about the visit to Ensor Park and Museum by members of the Kansas City Blind Amateur Radio Club, I had cause to send an email to Dave Plumlee of Independence, Mo., K5POU, asking if I had accurately rendered the information I had received from Craig Martin of Northmoor, Mo., KY0O, in regard to how individuals who are visually impaired are able to effectively function as amateur radio operators with the assistance of computer software capable of supplying them with essential information aurally.
