The Braille Monitor, December 2001

Edition

The

tree of lights on the Skydeck at the National Center for the Blind is visible

from I-95. When it was constructed for the first time in December of 2000,

we were unable to find a star large enough for the top. Mr. Ruff of the NFB

maintenance staff set about to make an appropriate star and string it with

lights. He presented the finished product to President Maurer. Then Mr. Ruff,

Mr. Ray, and Mr. Gashel assembled the display of white lights.

Again

this year we wish our readers the peace and joy of this season and the courage

to shine with hope no matter how dark the night. Happy Holidays.
