Very innovative stuff he marketed. As I recall he resided in Las Vegas at that time. I participated with him an entire day with the Visually Impaired group at the convention. I also purchased some of the tools for this "sighted person." :-) Ah, memories... At that time he was searching for someone to take over the business. Since you mentioned Chicago, do you know the current status of his life or the tool business? Sincerely, Keith A.
