Blind Man Driving

Michele Budris, the program manager for the Accessibility Program Office here at Sun forwarded this link to an article on the 9News.com web site.

DENVER - The people taking driving lessons at Master Drive of Denver Thursday have been rock climbing, white water rafting and skiing, but getting behind the wheel of a car may be the most thrilling thing they've done in a while.

The student drivers were from the Colorado Center for the Blind and they were very excited to do something that many of us do everyday and sometimes wish we didn't.

What makes it particularly interesting is that the report mentions Jason Fayre, who used to work for Sun here in the Bay Area.
