    Smadar, I just ran across that quote tonight while preparing my post for tomorrow on my own family's deafblind relative. Helen Keller was certainly a trailblazer in so many ways.

      I agree Heather! I was also enamored by the beauty photo and how young she looked. Our national archives are full of these treasures which are in our public domain! Thanks for visiting and for you lovely comment!
