Hi Everyone,

My story “So Dad, When Can I Go Surfing?” just came out in a Special Issue of Future Reflections devoted to Childhood Sports, Fitness, and Blindness. It can be found at www.nfb.org/images/nfb/Publications/fr/fr26/Issue2/fr07sum02.htm

The full Special Issue Edition is located at www.nfb.org/images/nfb/Publications/fr/fr26/Issue2/fr07sumtc.htm.
Have a great summer!

Other articles by Eric Vasiliauskas

1) Braille Literacy -- It's a Family Value: This is basically the modified text of a few presentations I was asked to give on the value of Braille from a parent's perspective. (www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=61&SnID=44365653):

2) Educating the World, One Reporter at a Time: Here is the link to a reprint of an article that showed up in our local newspaper, the Beach Reporter, nearly 2 years ago. The article was a surprise, as we had not previously interacted with the author. As it was a touching story, I subsequently emailed the author, Paul Silva. Paul recently gave me permission to send both to the Braille Monitor & they opted to print both his article and my email in tandem. (The editor chose the title).

3) The Power of Knowledge: The last is the text of one of a presentation I was asked to give at the NFB 2006 National Convention’s National symposium entitled “The Equation for Success 2006 Seminar for Parents and Teachers”. (www.nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/fr/fr24/fr06win10.htm)
