Wall of Tribute: Friends of Leaders and Legends

The Hall of Fame for Leaders and Legends of the Blindness Field, now drawing support from the entire profession, is housed in a portion of the 80 year-old wing of the original 1883 building, which is part of the American Printing House for the Blind in Louisville, Kentucky. The newly renovated space is filled with special displays of artifacts, photographs, videos, and plaques honoring the great names of the profession.

Place a stone in the Wall of Tribute

A wall of tribute has been designed that will give you the opportunity to honor, in a special way, people who have made a difference in your life - be it a spouse or family member, a teacher or other mentor. You may also wish to commemorate an historical figure or special organization. Specifically those involved with the field of blindness, visual impairment education, or service delivery.

The wall, made up of inscribed stones placed in beautifully detailed wooden columns, is entitled "Friends of Leaders and Legends," and is located in the new Hall of Fame.

Five sizes of elegantly inscribed stones are available to be personalized as you choose. All etched stones are eight inches wide and vary in height: three, four, six, eight and twelve inches. Each etched, high contrast Romanite® stone is engraved with half-inch black letters and can be donated outright or purchased on a three-year installment plan. Organization logos can be accommodated on the eight and twelve inch stones. All deeply etched stones are accompanied by a handsome 8" x 1" strip of braille that provides the message of the stone. Select your stone size and write your own inscription.

Your support is vital in helping us remember and honor these esteemed leaders of our field. Won't you please consider whatever level of participation you can afford, from becoming a Charter Benefactor to donating an inscribed stone that will have a prominent place with other "Friends of Leaders and Legends?"

All supporters of this wall of tribute will receive a certificate suitable for framing, acknowledging their support.

Each Wall of Tribute engraving will be comprised of a Romanite® St. Augustine beveled-edge stone with 1/2" etching in APHont(TM) with black infill.
