So sorry to hear about Norma.

I first met Norma in the early nineties in Girl Scouts.  We were at a leaders meeting and they asked for a volunteer to take the minutes.  No one volunteered.  So there went up Norma’s hand  to say she would do it.  She took out her Braille card and proceeded to take the minutes .  I commented to a leader next to me that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for not saying we would do the minutes.  Here is a blind lady stepping up.

In all the years in scouts Norma never let her handicap hold her back.  I was lucky enough to share several ladies trip with Norma when she joined the travel group of ladies. She was a trooper we went to Boston one year and took a side trip to Salem Mass.  we visited the house of 7 gables.  She insisted on taking the tour.  So off we went single file up stairs and down.  Nothing got in her way.  On the San Antonio trip we went to the Botanical garden.  And I  was leading Norma thru the cactus garden.  Who tripped and ended up in the cactus?  Not Norma but me.  Boy did we laugh about that.  Rest in Peace Norma
