20220107 - VISAbilities - Larry Gassman - 155958.

January 7, 2022

Terry is starting the new year off with a new series of calls. The Blind and Low Vision Community has long been fortunate to have a huge number of Visually Impaired Seniors with amazing Abilities. At least once a month, someone will share their life experiences. Whether life-long or recent vision loss, they all have much to share with us. Terry is thrilled to begin this series with just such a man, Larry Gassman. Larry has been the person responsible for streaming VISAbilities on ACB Media 1 and posting the podcasts for these past many months. That barely scratches the surface of who Larry is and his background. Barber shopping and his love of old time radio are just two facets of who he is and all he has to offer.
