I really liked Mr. Schmidt's presentation. I had never seen a person read Braille before. It looked different when he typed on his Braille typewriter. His books were really interesting and I hope I can find and finish the parts he did not read. His books were very well written . I can tell, because they made me want to read them. ...Nathan, grade 5
