Me too, if memory serves Wormald had the Kay Torch (spelling) and one of my
favorite mobility aids the Sonic-Guide. Never got to do more than see the
former, but had the later during my internship and it gave me back the lost
capabilities dependence on the cane took from my previously depended upon
Object Perception/Facial Vision--and then some. I know it was Nurion who
did the Laser cane, but I loved that too. Wish that those types of devices
were still available...
