Lennie Miller’s last day
with IPI was March 23, 2018. Lennie has done an amazing job running the
Anamosa Braille Center and mentoring incarcerated individuals in that shop as they
become certified in braille transcription. Over the years, IPI has
received many heartfelt testimonials from parents and educators as to
the braille shop’s role in helping children learn and succeed.
Congratulation and best wishes, Lennie!
Keith Paulson has now taken over the Braille Center.
