They have a bronz plaque in braille on the wall in the chapel as well as a piece of sculpture (carving)in the nave, so that the sight impaired can get an idea of how she looked.<BR/><BR/>An interesting last resting place for a 'humanist'.The Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701469966951623627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-84397679495957788932008-03-07T09:02:00.000-05:002008-03-07T09:02:00.000-05:00I too saw this picture and read the article about ...I too saw this picture and read the article about the photo and Helen Keller. <BR/><BR/>Every high school I've ever worked in works for the Lions and the eyeglass program. In my current school, we have a lot of students that come from low socio-economic families and the Lions program has had a HUGE impact in the community.<BR/><BR/>Great post and comments as usual EHT - :-)M-Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597592214404682497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-39051114869469180272008-03-07T08:43:00.000-05:002008-03-07T08:43:00.000-05:00Thanks, Ga.

Many of my students have benefitted from the Lions Club eyeglass program. <BR/><BR/>Your addition proves that there is so much more about Keller that many people don't know. <BR/><BR/>Hi June. I saw an article last night about the picture and hurried to get a post up. No telling what people across America have in their attics and basements that would send people like me into historical frenzies! :)EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-62441846083927812262008-03-07T07:46:00.001-05:002008-03-07T07:46:00.001-05:00I saw this wonderful photo in our paper yesterday....I saw this wonderful photo in our paper yesterday.

To this very day, Lions Clubs still have blindness treatment and prevention as their primary charitable focus.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading your history blogs and look forward to each one.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for supporting my roadgeek blog.Georgia Road Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025369316241643022noreply@blogger.com
