President
Maurer plays on the floor of the
dining room with eleven-month-old
Ben Shropshire, son of Administrative
Coordinator to the Office of the
President, Lauri Shropshire.

President Maurer stands on a desk
in one of the offices in the
Materials Center preparing to
wash a window.

Unusual things sometimes
take place at the National Center for the Blind. Even when commonplace activities
occur (like a Baltimore Chapter meeting) the camera sometimes catches out-of-the-ordinary
events like the picture (above left).

July 14 provided
a number of opportunities for unusual pictures. The Materials Center was finally
ready for restocking and use. But first it had to be thoroughly cleaned. We
could have hired a company at considerable expense to come in and do the job.
We could have left it to the maintenance department to get the job done as it
could over a period of weeks. Or we could do what we usually do and ask everyone
on staff to devote a day to get the huge space ready for operation. That's what
we did, and these pictures record the day.
