Best kept secret in Minnesota-MSAB

On June 5th and 6th, Kathy and I had the privilage of spening time on the campus of the Minnesota State Academy for the Blind. (The graduates had asked me to give the commencement address. I took the opportunity to exchane emails with staff and grads before our arrival and then attending the other festivities while there.)
While I was aware of its existence, I had no idea of the high level of compassionate care and education made available to the student body as they master the life skills they'll need after leaving MSAB. It is a credit to our state that we make MSAB and MSAD (Minnesota Academy for the Deaf) available to folks who may face different challeges than the "normal" student. As the staff was clear to point out: MSAB/D is the best kept secret in the state!
