What a treat we have! Rachel Schroeder is known and loved by many! ! An experienced radio broadcaster for many years, a teacher to many, a single parent, a ACB state affiliate president, an advocate… an all-around trail blazer! Rachel knows she is “A person who happens to be blind.” She doesn’t settle for living within any so-called limits; Rather, she chooses to push beyond what is assumed, presumed, prescribed, and lives a life she has created with pride, dignity and joy! While we laughed about some of the early memories in our longtime friendship, we also enjoyed the memories of she and Larry Turnbull in the early days of streaming national Convention! Oh, they were daring! And successful! Despite the lousy hotel connectivity and faulty equipment, they brought their own equipment into the mix and ran between the ballroom and Exhibit Hall. In those days, we streamed both general sessions and Interactive. In the longtime bond of their friendship, their mutual skill, downright fun and tenacity, they proved streaming a live convention to be possible! Rachel and Larry, cheers to you both! That was courageous and just one more demonstration of moving beyond limits! Tune in for some laughs, inspiration and all-around goodness!
