I only hope Dr. Linvill knew how much the Optacon impacted our lives. Had it not been for the optacon, I could never have done the work I did as well as I did it in my field of medical transcription. This device was right up there with the guide dog for me and has been among the wonders of the world enhancing life for those of us who are blind. He will be missed greatly, but what an incredible and fascinating life he lived! Thank you, Dr. Bliss, for sharing this with us so that we, too, can celebrate an incredible life! Dianne B.
