Dear Jim, Thank you for sending this. It was interesting to read about all his accomplishments. I remember reading an article in our local paper in the mid-1960's about the optacon which had a photo of Dr. Linvill and his daughter. At the time, I was losing vision but could still read, with difficulty, but became very hopeful when I read about his invention.
