Not A First
David Paterson is not the first blind governor:
As a child, Mr. Paterson suffered a bad ear infection that damaged his optic nerve, leaving him legally blind. He is the first blind governor of New York,
and the second in the nation (Bob Cowley Riley, almost entirely blind, filled in as chief executive of Arkansas for 11 days in 1975).

Pardon my use of your comment box for this communication. The email address I have is no longer valid and I couldn’t find an email address on your site.
After more than a year we’ve managed to transfer most of the activity involving Saint Blog’s Parish from the old web ring to the new Directory (http://stblogsparish.com/list).
While the directory does not provide the same “ring” style link that the webring did it became clear to me that the webring simply was not maintainable. So many members had abandoned their sites or changed to new addresses or had started new sites without adding the ringcode and updating their information that the ring was simply broken in too many places.
For those of you who still display the webring code on your site - please remove it. The webring will be officially removed from the Ringsurf directory within a few weeks.
If you have never listed your site on the new directory please visit Saint Blog’s Parish and click the “Join” link in the menu on the sidebar. If believe you may have applied to the directory but cannot find your site simply apply again. I’ll do my best to weed out duplicates.
Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation.
