ft floweil Like most physical handicaps, blindness is a frightening concept for the average person. For Fred Moss, a freshman music major at Furman, visual impairment is a reality of life. Bom with an eye condition which involves deterioration of the retina. Fred can see only the gross images around him. Fred docs not feel alienated, nor does he consider this inability a handicap, but rather one of his special characteristics. Involvement is a way of life for Fred: I am just a real person.” he insists, “living my life like anyone else.” Fred's far-from-stagnant life includes playing the clarinet in the Marching Band anil the Concert Band, as well as being freshman representative to the Band Council. He is a member of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and the CESC Shrincrs’ Hospital group. As expected. Fred must plan for his classes well in advance. He sends two copies of most textbooks to Recordings For the Blind. A monitor checks for errors and omissions as a reader records the book onto ta| e. At Furman Fred finds it easy to become involved with both school and community, and perhaps this is the key to his real Special ness. Fred is special not because of his eyes, but because he has learned that doing is living. Mary Ann Browder and Pam Crccch Catherine Opalko: Surfsidc Beach. SC Nancy Jane Ornstcin: Aberdeen.
