So true.  Very few people know that I am partially sighted.  I can 
legally carry a white cane, but choose not to.  Alas, I can't see the 
stage beyond the third row.  I wonder if there are ADA laws that would 
let me sit up front.  However, I would probably never use them as I feel 
that if I don't show up early enough to get a good seat on my own, tant 
pis pour moi.

I support you all the way Judy.

Last year, I saw Connie Baker, on two occasions, chew out volunteers in 
the open for the masses to see.  I don't think the festival's rudeness 
is directed only at the handicapped.

All the best, Gary
