—Judge David Tatel, Virginia
“I am a college student, and trying to hunt down people who might read for me is like looking for a needle in a hay
stack. NFB-NEWSLINE® is helping me be thought of as ‘one of the guys’ instead of ‘that blind guy who’s always asking about
reading something for him.” —Andrew Lumas, Georgia
